Episode 60 | October 16th, 2025
Hello, hello, Soulful Seekers! Welcome back to Trauma & Transcendence.
In this weekās episode of Trauma & Transcendence, host Amanda M. Dodd sits down withĀ Dale Turnbull, a Metaphors of Movement Coach and Trainer whose work bridges psychology, symbolism, and transformation. Daleās unique approach reveals the hidden metaphors running our livesāand how, by exploring them consciously, we can find new movement, direction, and personal freedom.
Dale brings over 12 years of experience inĀ personal development, NLP, hypnosis, IEMT, and Provocative Change Works, blending practical insight with deep unconscious exploration. āFor a long time,ā Dale admits, āI struggled to look at myself honestly. It felt painful, so I avoided it. But when I found Metaphors of Movement, it gave me a way to explore my inner world safely and curiously.ā
āAmanda and Dale dive into the fascinating world ofĀ metaphorical communicationāhow the language we use every day (āI feel stuck,ā āIām hitting a wall,ā āIām in a dark placeā) is actually revealing unconscious maps of our experience.
Together, they unpack howĀ Metaphors of MovementĀ connects conscious and unconscious realities, helping people understand themselves without needing to interpret or analyze their emotions. This approach is neutral, non-confrontational, and deeply revealingāespecially for those healing from trauma or seeking to reconnect with their inner world.
Amanda shares her own experience working with Dale on money and self-worth metaphors: āIt was incredible how quickly my internal world became visibleāalmost like my subconscious painted it right in front of me. It wasnāt hours of talk therapy. It was fast, clear, and surprisingly emotional.ā
Dale describes how metaphors also influence hypnosis, dreams, and even how we perceive change. āIf a client says theyāre in a box,ā he says, āand then later that box has a window or a door, thatās real movement in their unconscious. It shows progress, without us needing to force meaning.ā
āFor those curious to explore their own inner metaphors, Dale offers free demos andĀ Metaphors of Movement Level 1 & 2 Trainings, available online atĀ metaphorsofmovement.us. His students range from hypnotists and therapists to spiritual seekers and those simply wanting more self-awareness.

For anyone feeling stuck, searching for deeper understanding, or looking for a new way to communicate with their unconscious mind, this episode offers a truly transformative lens.
āWhen someone says, āIām stuck,āā Dale explains, āthat could mean theyāre in quicksand, behind a wall, or being held back. Each version of āstuckā means something different. When we see that clearly, we can finally move again.ā
As the conversation unfolds, Amanda and Dale also touch on: Ultimately, Dale leaves listeners with this reflection:
āLife is yours. Have fun, enjoy it, and keep taking steps.ā
