Stories and metaphor are a powerful way to stimulate hope and by-pass resistance – they can also enhance problem solving and creativity, beneficially impact the mind/body system and much more… Accredited CPD Certificate : 6 hours Length 1 day (9.30am - 4.00pm) Wonderful – inspiring, informative and empowering communication skills masterclassJENI NELSON, PSYCHOTHERAPIST / HYPNOTHERAPIST Why take this course Stories can be incredibly powerful therapeutic tools. They help bypass rigid views about life, enhancing the listener’s flexibility of thought. And by suspending ordinary constraints, they help people reclaim optimism whilst fueling their imaginations with the energy necessary to attain goals. In the physically ill, they can also stimulate the immune system and speed recovery. All successful psychotherapy and counselling involves storytelling and the use of pertinent metaphors, both of which tap into the natural way our brains work. We can’t know what goes on in another person’s mind but, if you perceive the ‘pattern’ of a story and understand that it could be useful to them at a specific point in their life, that is reason enough to tell it. Their unconscious, creative imagination will seek and find the ‘meaning’ relevant to their situation. No explanation, no direct statement of a story’s meaning can substitute for the way it acts on the hearer’s mind. Join us to discover more and learn how to source and tell such therapeutic tales yourself… Gareth was fantastic, brought a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm as well as stories to the course...PROJECT MANAGER Wonderful practical skills - I was entranced the whole day...PSYCHIATRIST What will you learn How and why our brains work through ‘pattern-matching’ How to use this profoundly useful tool for getting through to people stuck in the black-and-white thinking of emotional distress A powerful way to stimulate optimism, hope and independence in distressed people Increased ability to source and tell therapeutic stories yourself Ways to enhance your own problem solving capacity, as well as being better able to help others with theirs A new way to motivate and engage people Insights into the mind/body communication system and how useful this tool can be for promoting healing and recovery A great way to build rapport and bypass resistance How to choose the appropriate stories and metaphors for different people, and when to use them Practical ways in which therapists, teachers, GPs, managers, policy planners etc can apply this knowledge to their work The ability to enhance flexibility of thought, creativity and confidence in your clients How stories and metaphor can also help us diagnose where problems lie A new love and deeper understanding of the value, resonances and resources within stories Greater confidence in dealing with a wide range of people – and a solid understanding of, and practise in, the therapeutic precision of metaphor and more… So informative and relevant to my everyday work..SCHOOL COUNSELLOR Pat Williams, creator of this course, talks you through its benefits Course Programme The ‘How to tell stories that heal’ course starts at 9.30am and runs until 4.00pm.
