I’m excited to share about all the ways I use metaphor in counseling as a therapeutic tool. I use metaphors a LOT in therapy, but I don’t always hear other folks share about how they use metaphors in therapy.This episode has two parts:Part 1: Therapeutic reasons for using metaphors in counselingPart 2: Types of metaphors to use in counselingThere was so much to cover that I decided to just release one longer episode this week.
