About this listen

In this episode, Todd Schmenk explores how to use metaphors as more than teaching tools. Functional, evocative metaphors can shift context, disrupt unhelpful patterns, and open clients to new ways of relating to their experience.

Todd breaks down common missteps, shares a checklist for building metaphors that actually land, and highlights classics like Ball in the Pool, Passengers on the Bus, and The Chessboard.

Learn how to craft and deliver metaphors that move behavior, evoke emotion, and create real psychological flexibility.
