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.
