When clients say they feel stuck, trapped, heavy, or on edge, they’re not just being descriptive—they’re revealing the language of the unconscious. This session introduces a dynamic and eye-opening method for working with those metaphorical expressions to create lasting transformation.
Drawing on the Metaphors of Movement model, you’ll explore how these metaphor-rich phrases can be decoded and redirected to spark insight, unlock solutions, and shift behavior—without needing the client to relive painful stories. Whether you’re a hypnotist, coach, NLP practitioner, or therapist, this approach will help you access deeper layers of client experience using content-free, flexible strategies that integrate easily into your current practice.
This isn’t just theory—it’s a hands-on, mind-expanding experience where you’ll explore your own metaphors and see how this method reveals surprising truths and new directions. Expect storytelling, real-world examples, lively group interaction, and a whole new way of engaging the unconscious mind.
You’ll walk away with:
A powerful tool to build instant rapport through metaphor
Techniques to bring unconscious patterns into conscious awareness
A content-free model you can immediately apply to your sessions
A deeper appreciation for the metaphors your clients already use—and how to leverage them for real change
Dale Turnbull is not your typical hypnotist—he’s a storytelling catalyst, metaphor magician, and pattern breaker. Originally from England and now based in New York, Dale has spent over a decade helping clients—and the professionals who serve them—break free from feeling “stuck” using language they already have inside them.
What makes Dale different? He specializes in Metaphors of Movement, a cutting-edge methodology that helps practitioners tap into the rich, symbolic language clients use every day to describe their problems. Whether someone says they’re “drowning in stress” or “hitting a wall,” Dale shows how those metaphors aren’t just descriptive—they’re directional maps to transformation.
Having trained in NLP with both Richard Bandler and John Grinder, and with deep experience in Hypnosis, Provocative Change Works, and Integral Eye Movement Therapy, Dale’s work fuses science, creativity, and heart. His training style is interactive, light-hearted, and instantly applicable.
If you’re a hypnotist, coach, or therapist who’s ready to help clients move—literally and metaphorically—this is the teacher and method you’ve been waiting for.
