I’m not a radio fan, but Dr Phil Hammond certainly got my attention recently!
He was speaking on BBC radio 4 on the subject ‘Metaphor for Healing’.
Here is a GP interested in how the use of metaphorical language in health care is increasingly accepted as a powerful aid to healing. Music to my ears.
The theory goes that the power of the right metaphor, long exploited in poetry, politics and marketing, is being increasingly recognised in health care, coaching and therapy, engaging the unconscious to activate self-healing.
I’m a visual thinker and someone who regularly uses metaphor to help coaching clients understand their lives with as much clarity as possible – and it works!
Can anyone point me in the direction of further information?
