Description
The Oxford Guide to Metaphors in CBT explores how metaphors can be used to transform meanings in cognitive therapy. By bridging two different domains, metaphors provide a fresh perspective on problematic interpretations, helping clients to reframe their experiences.
Therapists can use metaphors to help clients understand their symptoms in a new light, shifting their focus from self-blame to a more nuanced understanding of their condition. This book presents hundreds of metaphors that have been successfully used in CBT, covering a range of problems including anxiety and depression.
It will be a valuable resource for cognitive behaviour therapists and those training in CBT, offering a comprehensive collection of metaphors to enhance their practice.
