Dragon Metaphor for Pain Relaxation Hypnosis Script

However, people have been using stories to teach, inspire and motivate others since humanity first developed language skills.

Lessons from Metaphors

In historic times, parables were used to teach morality. We also had Greek and Roman legends, as well as mythological stories from other cultures.

We tell our children stories, often in the hope that they will absorb and learn from the lessons in the stories that they hear. Some tales are designed to frighten and scare them, with the expectation that they might avoid making the same mistakes as we have made in the past.

As adults, we tell each other different kinds of stories; for example, what was said or done to whom, what might happen and how we felt at any given time.

Powerful Storytelling

In many cases, the best stories are those that we tell ourselves.

These are often the most powerful, complex and challenging to understand, and these are the stories that have the greatest influence over our lives.
