Like other
forms of imagery, the images we use in everyday language, can
be explored to reveal rich meanings and hidden significance.
This workshop offers therapists and allied professionals
information and exercises which can enhance extended work with
feelings and experiences including those which are on the edge
of awareness. This can be particularly useful to counsellors
who recognize the importance of narrative to clients but who
wish to find ways of moving away from content and working at a
deep empathic level.
