An Introduction to
Grovian Metaphor Therapy
and the art of Clean Language
with Simon Stanton
David Grove, through is work with trauma victims,
has developed and unique and wonderful approach to exploring client
generated metaphors and bringing about transformation. His approach,
now called Clean Language, is a unique and beautiful way of enabling
an individual to explore and to grow their own metaphors.
Each person's metaphors are a unique and individual
expression of their own experiences, Clean Language makes no interpretation
of the metaphor and avoids contaminating it with the questioner's
own perceptions. It leaves the client free to evolve their metaphors
and reach a resolution of their own problem.
James Lawley and Penny Tompkins, renowned NLP practitioners
and trainers, have spent two years with David Grove, modelling
his skills and techniques. The results of their work, Grovian
Metaphor Therapy and Clean Language, are now being enjoyed and
employed by a wider audience of therapists, counsellors and trainers.
I invite you to spend a day participating in an engaging
and enjoyable learning experience, learning the fundamentals of
Grovian Metaphor Therapy.
During the day you will learn:
- the basic questions and syntax of Clean Language
- discovering a client's symbols and metaphors
- identifying the attributes of each symbol
- uncovering resource symbols
- shifting between cognitive and symbolic thinking
