In this webinar, you will learn how to use a practical tool to open conversations about self through the metaphor of a sailing ship. Informed by Narrative Therapy, this experiential training involves you drawing a simple sailboat (no skill required!) and exploring how each part of the boat holds a part of our personal story, explored using rich metaphors about life’s challenges and what makes us resilient.This technique can be particularly appealing to male clients, young and old, as it isn’t too ‘flowery’ (like The Tree of Life) and has lots of straight lines. It can also be full of scary sharks, dark clouds and turbulent waters.  This tool captures the person and the problem in ways that open up both serious and hopeful conversations.There is a tender moment when the treasure chest is drawn towards the end. This powerful journey to the person’s heart can reveal a special discovery about what is most precious to them.If you enjoy using The Tree of Life or other creative expressive arts, and understand that neither you nor your client needs to be artistically talented to bring alive any metaphor, then this could be an accessible and enjoyable tool to offer your clients.
