The Power of Metaphor

This pioneering book combines the power of metaphor and the dynamics of story telling. Metaphors are powerful because they can parallel life; a story is dynamic because it captivates the reader or the listener. When a metaphor is embedded in a story, the captivation of the listener activates the subconscious mind, and the metaphor is absorbed. The Power of Metaphor provides a collection of such resonant stories and guided visualizations for use with groups or individuals. Each story takes the form of a guided journey that leads the listener along an imaginative path. Each forms a script for an inspiring story session that will enhance the understanding of it listeners. Written by two highly-respected authors, this book is a delightful guide to enhancing teaching, training, or therapy sessions by using the power of story-telling. If you are looking for new therapeutic approaches and alternative ideas, or if you are simply interested in self-development this book will prove to be a fascinating and enlightening read.
