Make the concept easier to hold onto.

A good metaphor does not replace clinical work. It gives the client a memorable bridge between an abstract idea and everyday experience.

Use this as a brainstorming companion—not a substitute for clinical judgment.

1. Pick the concept

Choose the topic you want to explain and the person or group you are speaking with. No client name or identifying information is needed.

2. Shape the language

Style changes the form of the explanation. Tone changes how it feels. Length controls how much context is included.

3. Generate and adapt

Generate three ideas. Use Give Me Another if one does not fit. Edit verbally as needed for the client and treatment context.

4. Save what works

Favorite useful ideas for later. Saved items use local browser storage, so they do not automatically sync across devices.
