In the Metaphor Toolbox, Debbie Waller has brought together metaphors and stories by a number of authors on a wide variety of themes, from modern to traditional. They work equally well as hypnotherapy scripts, guided meditations, or conversationally during counselling or coaching sessions.
But it is more than just a book of metaphors. We explore how and why storytelling works as therapy and include notes about how to adapt and personalise each approach for different audiences. The themed chapters make it easy for you to pick just the right story for your client, and the book is an invaluable resource for therapists of all kinds.
The metaphor toolbox is a plethora of creativity and wonderful interventions. They will illuminate possibilities treatment ideas and inspire the reader to come up with their own and should be on the shelf of every therapist that enjoys the utilisation of imagination withing their treatment plans.
