The power of the spiral: Uncovering depth, creativity, and healing in metaphor

In my coaching work, a client’s deep metaphoric patterns often emerge as a primary shape. The most common shapes I encounter are line, circle, square, triangle, and spiral.

A deeper human language

When I work with a client’s deep inner images, I draw on the same visual language that artists work with, and so I find visual art, especially drawing, fascinating. I tell my students and workshop participants that we need to shift “how we are looking” to understand these potent inner images and allow them to…
