Metaphor People

Sometimes we create or bring people into our personal metaphor reality.

Where these people are non positive, we then run the following pattern:

• See person in outside world who triggers the metaphor;
• feel bad;
• anchor feeling bad to that person. 

We then wonder why we feel bad everytime we see that person. 

In order to change this response we can:

• change our personal metaphor reality to remove that symbol;
• become more consciously aware of our personal metaphor reality and choose not to recognize the negative triggers
  
• trigger a more resourceful state to that persons external reality
• Add a recovery strategy to the experience

To restate this, we can:

• Remove the negative symbol from our landscape
• Break the connection between the external stimulus and the negative stimulus
• Create an alternative path from the external stimulus to a new symbol
• Allow the path from the external stimulus to the internal symbol to remain, and to create  new path from the internal symbol to a more resourceful internal symbol

A final possibility suggests from the world of clean language and symbolic modeling. This would be to find a way to change the "negative" symbol into a "positive" symbol.
