277 - Facilitating Stress Reduction with Liminal Coaching and Metaphor Mapping with Mike Parker


Listen Later

Imagine a landscape. Perhaps a snow-capped mountain top, studded with pine trees and whispers of clouds. Maybe a bird flutters past. Are there people there, or are you alone with the birds?

If only daydreaming from your desk was seen as something to be revered - encouraged even, free from judgement. Well, Mike Parker is here to tell you why it should be! For when we let our minds wander from our day, it can be a potent balm for burnout, stress, and anxiety, and a cure for creative blockages.

In this week’s beautiful and deeply fascinating episode, Mike introduces us to the power of deliberate daydreaming, metaphor mapping, liminal coaching and guided relaxation. I hope it carves out an hour of calming creativity for you to let your mind wander fully and freely.

Find out about:

  • The work of Mike’s Liminal Coaching, inspired by solutions-focused hypnotherapy
  • What metaphor mapping is and why it can help us recognise and reframe problems
  • The power of calming the parasympathetic nervous system through liminal pomodoro technique
  • Why guided relaxations offer neurodivergent people a less restrictive outlet than meditation
  • The serotonin-inducing power of recalling pleasurable moments
  • The importance of recognising intrinsic, oppressive frameworks in impacting the burnout of minority groups
