Metaphors of Movement
Metaphors of Movement system, developed by Andrew T Austin is a rich model of understanding and utilising our internal metaphors, which can help those “stuck states” where nothing else seems to work. It offers clarity on the metaphorical inner landscape, use of language to describe our experiences, and allows deep and often surprising discoveries of “where we stand” in the world. Open to therapists, coaches and general public.
