Metaphor is such a powerful way to release the thoughts that bob around below the surface of our consciousness, but which need to be brought in the light order to break through barriers and make progress.

As a coach who works with creative people - who often fall foul of these very blocks - I find pictures to be really powerful way of stimulating creative thinking around self-limiting beliefs, performance anxiety and other creative demons!
