Title:
|
Metaphors In Mind: A Case Study |
|
Synopsis:
|
What do you do as a therapist, teacher, doctor or manager when your client, student, patient or colleague says "It's like I'm hitting my head against a brick wall" or "I'm so wound up I can't see straight" or "Things keep getting on top of me"?
Do you ignore the metaphorical nature of their communication?
Do you unwittingly introduce your own metaphors?: "Why do you continue punishing yourself?" or "I can tell you're stressed ." or "How does that make you feel ?".
Or do you take their metaphors as an accurate description of their way of being in the world and ask questions within the logic of the information?: "And is there anything else about that brick wall?" or "And what kind of wound up is that?" or "And whereabouts on top of you?".
This article describes a way for individuals to discover how their metaphors are organized and, if they wish, what needs to happen for them to change so that they have a different perception of the world. |
