Publisher's summary

Written from experiences of beneficial change within clients by a therapist with many years of successful experience.

Metaphors are the paints that illuminate a black and white drawing. They are mirrors of the mind. The face you look at in the mirror is never the face others see, but when we look at ourselves from a different viewpoint then we can see the changes that will make us better. They are tools for change, they break the barriers of rigid thinking. They empower us to think in a lateral way, they illuminate the way forward to a better path. They help us to recognize the causes of our problems. Metaphors enable us to create new patterns of thought.

We live in a stressful world. Very often we live at a distance from the people who we could ask for help or advice. Regrettably, it is often easier to recognize the causes and effects of problems after the event, with the benefit of hindsight. Therefore, these short stories, based on real-life experiences, have been written in order to offer help to people who are suffering, or who might suffer, from negative influences in their lives.

The stories are based on the adverse effects that behaviors, attitudes and actions have had on the lives of others. Therefore, if the listeners can benefit from recognizing symptoms of their own issues that have caused problems, then there is the possibility that they can take corrective action before suffering strikes them. The stories have themes, which address modern views of ourselves and others. The intention is to encourage personal insights into our own problems and attitudes in order to encourage positive personal changes.

This is a companion volume to: Moving Forward; Life Changing Short Stories and Metaphors for Hypnosis, Hypnotherapy & NLP and Mind Changing Short Stories & Metaphors: For Hypnosis, Hypnotherapy & NLP: For Hypnosis, Hypnotherapy and NLP
