Therapeutic Metaphor and the Enneagram with Tom Condon

Using Storytelling to Create Change


Combining the Enneagram with NLP, the work of Milton Erickson and other powerful methods of change

For anyone using the Enneagram to grow and change as well as Coaches, Counselors, Therapists, Enneagram and NLP students.


A Workshop to Help You:
* Use storytelling to create change
* Transform Enneagram life scripts
• Create and deliver effective therapeutic stories
* Learn to use anecdotes, jokes and humor
* Discover powerful techniques newly applied to the Enneagram
• Acquire stories and metaphors for professional use

Applied to the Enneagram Therapeutic Metaphor – telling stories to create change – is a powerful method for helping yourself and others grow and change. Stories are so effective because they bypass normal ego defenses and communicate directly with the unconscious. The listener often finds fresh perspectives, solutions to problems and new resources for coping well and living fully. Therapeutic metaphor has many applications in daily life and is used naturally by good communicators.

You will learn to create and deliver effective therapeutic metaphors as well as use anecdotes, jokes and humor in a focused purposeful way. You will also learn to apply therapeutic metaphors to the needs and dilemmas of each Enneagram style – using stories to recognize/ transform the existing unconscious metaphors and scripts that drive each one.

The workshop price includes a free digital copy of the $40 audio series Therapeutic Metaphor and the Enneagram.

More Feedback About This Workshop
I was inspired by Tom’s relaxed presence as he used a range of techniques – especially humor and references to pop culture and literature. Above all, his command of the Enneagram in its many intricacies and subtleties positively impacted me. I’m encouraged to embrace humor and metaphor even more, as I’ve seen how penetrating and disarming these elements can be when teamed with the Enneagram. It was a wonderful opportunity to work with him one-on-one. I learned a lot!

Thank you. This has given me an insight on how to work with people in a different way, from somebody who does it well and with an effortlessness and compassion.
 

Liked the sequence, especially starting with getting people to identify high and low side metaphors and following all the way through to creating stories.

I came to this thinking I couldn’t create a metaphor or story to save my life and was pretty excited to discover that I could. Not very well – but exciting nonetheless.

Love your thoughtful grasp of concepts and sense of humor and ease with “clients.”

Relaxed teaching style works for me. You have a great way of placing the participants at ease.

Excellent presenter. Good examples. Well organized. Enjoyed the humor. Good group process. The weekend went very quickly.

I enjoy your friendly smile, showing that you see each of us individually.

Well done. Very comfortable teaching style. A nice introduction to this type of work with tools to work with and explore. Thank you.

I love your ease and flexibility. You’ve got to have a healthy ego to be a teach at all, but it’s not like so many teachers who have the, “I’m the expert and you’re not” attitude. Nice, warm smile, too.

Appreciate very much your responsiveness to people’s questions. Well done, Tom. Thank you. Keep up the work!
Thanks again for your powerful teaching.
Very well done.
 

Thank you. Enjoyed seeing your ease and mastery. I feel as though I was entranced by hypnotic movement.
 

Thank you. Loved the last storytelling exercise.
 

Tom was unpretentious and made me feel safe. Using stories intentionally was mystifying and it worked!
