Online Training Program With Andrew T. Austin

Metaphors in my Attic

"A Masterclass in the Mind-Body Connection for Personal Change and Growth..."

How do you make your existing NLP or hypnotherapy practice even better? Keep reading.

Ask a simple question: “How can I make my existing NLP or hypnotherapy practice much, much better.”  Andrew Austin has an answer to help you towards that end.

In fact, Andrew Austin has mapped that out for you, in detail, in his new online, video-based training program, “Metaphors in My Attic.”

You may think that’s a wild boast. Think about it. Every therapist has mandatory continuing education. All therapists and counselors want the same thing: to help people in pain. And, having as many effective methods as possible is key. Why? Because different methods affect people differently. And, NLP and hypnotherapy are no different.

Metaphors in My Attic” is hours of online, video based training which has received 100% positive feedback from practitioners worldwide. The biggest obstacle is admitting that each of us can do better in our practice.

I am confident that the information contained in this program will transform the way that you work with clients and will get you thinking completely differently about how you hear and use language in your clinical practice.

Just like your clients, it’s time to break out of those comfortable habits, be a bit of a pioneer, and reap the benefits that come with it.

Over 10 hours of video organised into manageable bite size chunks.

This brilliant online training program is priced at just $97.00.

“A really fantastic set of learning materials. Andy Austin lays out his Metaphors of Movement model in a clear, well-organized way that makes it easy to learn. This is a significant development and an excellent presentation of it. There’s more to it than you might think.”  Connirae Andreas, author of Core Transformation
“In his “Metaphors In My Attic” website, Andrew T. Austin demonstrates thoroughly how he masters the empowering nature of imagery language. There are more than enough  videos including client sessions that give step by step guidance as how you can explore client’s metaphors for a rapid change. I am really amazed with the quantity of the videos and the detailed information in the web-site. I am so looking forward to attending his workshop in September.” Gaye Gunes
“I have followed Andrew T. Austin’s work for many years with great interest. His “Metaphors in the Attic” is truly fascinating and the best yet –  a rare truly creative and very practical set of tools invaluable to anyone interested in developing their communication skills. The presentation is first class and I will certainly recommend this material to students and colleagues alike.” Nick Kemp
“With Metaphors of Movement, Andrew Austin offers a set of new and useful tools for NLP practitioners and therapists of all types. Metaphors in my Attic is the indispensable user manual to the system. Well-produced video clips explain simply, with a surprising depth of information and plenty of written support material for the text-minded. A distinct lack of hype and a reliance on illustrative examples makes the program engaging and compelling to explore. This kind of metaphor work will be an important therapeutic modality in the years to come and Metaphors in my Attic is a perfect way to introduce it as a well-defined system.” Philip H. Farber, author of Brain Magick

Andrew Austin’s Metaphors of Movement is a fascinating exploration into the world of Metaphor. If you have done anything with ‘metaphor work’ before you will learn new insights and revelations that only someone with the real-world experience of working with dozens upon dozens of clients can provide. This is a very well put together course, with many layers of learning. Excellent Value!“  Colin G. Smith
I haven’t worked through the entire course yet, but the video-based nature of it (you can re-watch them…) makes all the difference in processing the metaphor model. Andy Austin obviously knows what he’s doing, but for those of us who don’t and who find the verbal dexterity around metaphors difficult to master, you may need to reverse engineer and replay some of what he’s doing. That doesn’t detract from the experience – it reinforces your learning and gets you through your own “personal issue” hiccups. The video material is also great for putting context around what you will be doing with a client. His views are not for the faint hearted NLP practitioner, but they are expressed to emphasize how you give value to a client, not to be gratuitous. So, basically, I’m very pleased with Metaphors in My Attic.”  Janet Reed
I’m not quite sure what it is that Austin does in Littlehampton HQ but he presents a brilliant body of work here, adding to and fleshing out, not to mention making practical a lot of the work of Lakoff. This work should be more than double its price. I told him to change it but ignored me  - AGAIN.” Alan Whitton.
Get started with this unique program right away for just $97.00.

    This is a truly amazing deal. I’ve already jumped in and so far I LOVE the exercise- “Walking a Tightrope” It blows my mind that Andrew is admitting to the world that he has in some ways in past trainings “failed” but that does not seem to stop him from continuing on and finding the best tools to get aquatinted with his followers on a deeper level. I very much like this layout and anyone wise enough to give this another shot won’t regret it. We are all developing personal new themes- His Boundary Violations video alone is feel is worth 97.00 So once again, fantastic price and superb materiel!

    Haters will only make us stronger in the long run, weather Andy’s intention was to gain press any way he possibly could, bad & good. He will be most successful. This content is some of the best i’ve had the pleasure of seeing. Not to mention his hypnotic voice keeping me in the moment. All the best to him and many blessings in his success!

    It’s so hard to find such quality in materiel, let alone a person! The price is right and the metaphors material will leave you feeling like you’ve really gained something worth while. Highly recommend all of Mr. Austin’s work.

    After diving into this course a bit more I can say with confidence that it is indeed, effective! Truly a source of self empowerment.


  18. John

    I’ve participated in several of Andy’s trainings
    Most recently I’ve started drawing or writing out more metaphors on a variety of topics –
    Letting go of useless ideas,
    Learning to play a musical instrument, (Actually the metaphor was more about NOT knowing how to play one)
    and, I have written a couple of others on the idea of
    being connected to a higher spirit, God, worship
    What that is like in different places.

    My experience from writing those metaphors is this-
    This is something that is Mine, something I create . It is a sense of ownership of my experience
    and sometimes in a very real sense it is quite magical !


  19. Kahlde

    I guess I don’t get the point you are trying to make. Even the name “God” is a metaphor. The Bible is a metaphor that points to God but is not God. The Bible certainly puts God in a bad light at times.The name “Christian” is a metaphor, and any Christian can put God in a bad light. Some minister’s are good metaphor, and the world – even the church – won’t accept their testimony. Who defines whether or not a minister is a good metaphor or not?

    I heard that Austin hit someone with a chair at a workshop in London, I wasn’t there but that is what I was told.
