#6 What to do when you're up the creek without a paddle

In this episode, Alison explores metaphorical solutions if you feel like you're up a creek without a paddle – solutions your mind can then translate back into the real life situation to help uncover more options than you thought you had about what to do. Alison also demonstrates drawing as a wonderful means of getting more perspective about a problem you're facing. Alison's 'if you only have a few minutes to listen to the podcast topic' is about adapting your behaviour to suit the other and a reminder that doing that is NOT about giving up on who you are a person nor your identity. There's a wonderful vlog of me shouting at a door and blaming it for not opening https://youtu.be/MaktukJjGJQ Here's a blog sharing more about using drawing as a means of finding hidden solutions https://www.alisonsmith.co/i-just-dont-have-enough-time/ Drawing & Collage is one element of the LANDSCAPE coaching and problem solving toolkit and you'll find out more about the toolkit here https://www.alisonsmith.co/the-landscape-toolkit/ You'll also find out more about how to get out of the creek in my book Can't see the wood for the trees available from all online stockists along with many other of the idioms used in this podcast.
