Fitcher's Bird
The Fitcher’s Bird is a fairy tale that provides one of the most powerful depictions of the trauma field. The symbolism is rough, and the images are raw. By analyzing the tale, we are given an opportunity to understand the grip that trauma can have in our and clients’ lives and how patterns related to trauma are played out over and over. We will also explore how these patterns can be made conscious, allowing us to live more richly and meaningfully.
Because the Fitcher’s Bird is such a compelling story, I wanted to offer you an opportunity to explore its meaning in more detail. Therefore, I am offering a four-week seminar as detailed below:
