Metaphors and Short Stories for positive change

When we look in a mirror we can see a reflection of how we are and how we want to be.

We live in a stressful world. Very often we live at a distance from the people who we could ask for help or advice. Regrettably, it is often easier to recognise the causes and effects of problems after the event, with the benefit of hindsight. Therefore, these short stories and metaphors, based on real-life experiences, have been written in order to offer help to people who are suffering, or who might suffer, from negative influences in their lives.

The stories are based on the adverse effects that behaviours, attitudes and actions have had on the lives of others. Therefore, if the readers can benefit from recognising symptoms of their own issues that have caused problems, then there is the possibility that they can take corrective action before suffering strikes them.

Mind Changing Short Stories and Metaphors: For Hypnosis, Hypnotherapy and NLP by John Smale
Product Description
When used in NLP and hypnotherapy, metaphors have long given insights into the difficulties of people and have shown the ways in which we can escape or improve. If the stories strike a chord with you, then they also show a way out. These short stories, metaphors and interactive scripts will help you to eliminate negative thoughts and achieve your dreams by allowing you to relax while reading stories that can bring about positive change. Some of the stories will relax you, others will make you think. Some allow you to enter a light feeling of hypnosis. Hypnotherapy and hypnosis have been major users of metaphors to show different approaches to problems and their resolution. Milton Erickson, the grandfather of modern hypnotherapy used metaphors to great effect in resolving problems with his patients. Self hypnosis allows you to enter the areas of your mind where you can become imaginative and optimistic. You can create your dreams and the ways in which you will achieve them. Based on a huge amount of therapeutic work, these short stories, metaphors and interactive scripts can help you to bring about positive changes, eliminate negative thoughts and achieve your dreams.

Short Stories and Metaphors by John Smale
ANIMAL NATURE
The stories in this section include animals to symbolise the pressures of life. Our need to strive to advance at the expense of happiness. Our erroneous beliefs about others, including nature.
HUMAN NATURE
Anger, revenge, prejudice and dominance seem to be primeval drives. However, they pervade modern life. These are human failings over which we have control, if we think about the consequences for ourselves, and others.
NATURE'S NATURE
Nature is not something that exists outside our windows. We live in nature. We exist on a living planet that we have a greater need for than it has for us. We should treat the world as if were really our mother rather than something than needs to be destroyed for profits.
INSIGHT TO ANGER
A continuing narrative about anger the causes, effects and resolution of anger.
