- Short Description:
- This panel explores how anecdotes and metaphor become potent tools for shifting perspective, easing distress and inviting non-volitional change. Through humor, storytelling, imagery and brief hypnotic techniques, the presenters show how indirect communication can bypass resistance, evoke curiosity and reconnect clients with resourcefulness. Participants learn how cognitive style, framing and experiential follow-through shape the impact of a metaphor, and how stories drawn from everyday life can spark insight, flexibility and emotional relief.
