Courses: Metaphors of Movement - Levels 1 & 2

Metaphors of Movement (or MoM) is a new approach to working with stuck states and effective movement towards personal goals. A precision tool that helps clients unearth their ‘metaphorical world’ allows them to recognise how they maintain their problem state.

As a result, clients awaken to their own beliefs, metaphors and stuck points, triggering a series of rapid, self induced results.

If you are a coach, counsellor, therapist, or anyone interested in helping people, MoM is a powerful cutting edge change technique to learn, and one that truly works with the client’s model of the world. You will quickly help generate new solutions to their issues and achieve change where other therapeutic interventions have failed.

After working with their own Metaphors of Movement through these models, the experience people generally tend to describe is a sense of being more “awake.” So often we do not pay attention to our own communication, using metaphoric words seemingly at random that are in fact incredibly rich clues into our internal experience and strategies for moving through the world. Through attending to what we are each already saying, and to the underlying metaphoric structure, suddenly the way we maintain our problems is revealed, and we have the choice to change… Andy Austin, Founder of MoM
