A Strange and Strong Sensation: Symbolic Modelling: Change with Metaphor

Advances in contemporary psychology have matched recent breakthroughs in the science of self-organizing systems and complexity theory. This video offers coaches, psychotherapists and other mental health professionals an opportunity to experience the benefits now available through these innovations. Symbolic Modelling is a new way of thinking about the change process. At its heart is Clean Language, a profoundly respectful questioning process developed by internationally acclaimed therapist David Grove. This training video accompanies Penny and James' book, Metaphors in Mind: Transformation through Symbolic Modelling. It contains a film of a complete Symbolic Modelling session with on-screen annotation. The client discovers her personal metaphors and symbols and learns how these weave together to form a Metaphor Landscape. She is facilitated to identify the conditions necessary for organic change within this Landscape, so that new ways of perceiving herself and her world emerge. Included is a 36 page booklet with the full transcript as well as unique three-perspective commentary.
