The examples of using metaphors to explain things to parents, such as the example of returning a serve Serena Williams to explain how their language system is different from that of their child was a great way not only to help parents visualize the issue but also presenting it in a way that allows parents to make their own comparison to their behavior versus having to directly point it out.

It reminded me of the "Moral of the Story" my parents taught me; there was always a moral or lesson to be learned no matter the situation. I especially liked the use of metaphors to educate when a message isn't landing softly. The use of physical objects to teach the importance and necessity of patience in everyday tasks was brilliant!

The examples provided were helpful - would have been great to hear a few more actual metaphors, but I understand that the presenter was trying to establish a foundation for how to use them and there is only so much time available during a webinar. I was totally lost on slide 17 - I've gone back a couple of times to revisit the explanation, but I'm not too sure where the presenter was going. Overall it was a thought provoking webinar and something I'll definitely look into more. Thanks

I've had little exposure to the topic of this class, so I really appreciated the content. However, I lacked familiarity with some of the terms the presenter was using, which, at times, interfered with my being able to grasp the connections he was making between different concepts. For example, it would have been helpful if the presenter could have defined/explained "CBT" at the very start of the class.

It was a new topic, and the instructor seemed to assume his audience was familiar with the topic of CBT and built upon that assumption. Also, test questions were tricky, not always covered in his powerpoint, and made it hard overall to get a solid understanding of what he wanted his audience to understand about metaphors and therapy.
