• Acquire stories and metaphors for profession

Applied to the Enneagram Therapeutic Metaphor – telling stories to create change – is a powerful method for helping yourself and others grow and change. Stories are so effective because they bypass normal ego defenses and communicate directly with the unconscious. The listener often finds fresh perspectives, solutions to problems and new resources for coping well and living fully. Therapeutic metaphor has many applications in daily life and is used naturally by good communicators.

You will learn to create and deliver effective therapeutic metaphors as well as use anecdotes, jokes and humor in a focused purposeful way. You will also learn to apply therapeutic metaphors to the needs and dilemmas of each Enneagram style – using stories to recognize/ transform the existing unconscious metaphors and scripts that drive each one. 

The workshop price includes a free digital copy of the $40 audio series Therapeutic Metaphor and the Enneagram.
