SYMBOLIC MODELING

Using metaphors to foster profound personal change

TRAINING TESTIMONIALS

“Learning how to use Clean Language [and Symbolic Modeling have] greatly enriched my communication skills on both personal and professional levels.
This fine and respectful approach holds the space (for the client) while gently accessing the more unconscious inner worlds of images and metaphors. In dreamlike ease, different ways of being are developed and change naturally happens.
I have incorporated Clean Language and Symbolic Modeling into my work as a life coach. I also very much enjoyed the training as a discovery and journey into my own metaphors and inner landscapes.”

Angela Baldinger, Life Coach
Edmonton, AB

"The training far exceeded my expectations. I can actually use the process to help people in their discovery process.

Rima Shafer, Life Coach
Washington, D.C.

"This is a very fascinating and stimulating training. The clean language skills open up so much depth and subtlety in working with metaphor. I loved the sense of gaining access to life as a living metaphor and the levels of creativity tapped into"

Clear, well-structured, excellent modeling. I feel I have a good start both in theory and practice.

Susan Cook-Greuter, developmental psychologist
Boston

“As a client I am amazed how easily a (Clean Language) facilitator can help me get in contact with that huge part of my mind and feelings that I overlook because of my habitual linear thinking. It always leaves me in awe of my own resources. It gives intimate value to my experience of color sound and form, and images, besides the language of words and numbers.

As a trainee facilitator, I am amazed at how easy it is to support another in getting in contact with, and unfolding that which is already there, just overlooked. Also the constant exercise of focus on being "clean” absolutely minimizes my point of view to the point of only wonder, and maximizes the support for the other to unfold and reveal her/him self in a very gratifying learning adventure.”

Carl Van Rossum, Constellations Facilitator

I want to take Level II and beyond...This is a process that really addresses what we call "blocks to treatment", especially at the "spirit level."

"Clean Language and Symbolic Modelling continues to astound and tickle me. I find myself using an aspect or adaptation of it every coaching session I do. It is an intriguing way to explore below the surface. And it's always surprising, for me and my client."

My session with Gina was literally the gift of a lifetime. My picture had a NO in it. Through the process I added a K and a W, and the world changed. I can breath now and KNOW that I have a space.Yipee!
