Metaphors are powerful ways of working with clients and often are used by our clients to describe their situations, feelings and relationships. Similarly, counselors in supervision also use metaphors to express themselves. Too often, we neglect to hear the metaphors or explore them in ways that are useful. We will take a look at what metaphors are and how we might use them as Adlerians in our work in therapy and supervision.
