truth in metaphors
This is a question for you specifically, Stephen, since you're considered one of the experts on Ericksonian metaphors. I've read varying opinions on how much it matters whether therapeutic metaphors are literally true. Rossi claims in "Healing in Hypnosis" that clients can hear it in the voice, while Bandler and grinder seem to think it doesn't matter at all...what do you think?
