I found it useful putting my feelings down on paper, by sharing it I was able to put it into perspective. The patient concerned is now causing my colleague some anxiety also. Maybe it is transference. (Kate Milne)

Carol Wood and Elaine Trevitt are peer-mentors who played fruitfully with metaphor, even calling their joint educative process ‘chip and pin’ (Chapter 3, p. 61). Metaphor enabled Carol constructively to perceive her inner mentor, whom she metaphorically personified as Crow:

Over time, in exploration with Elaine, I realised Crow was, perhaps, my inner mentor. Realising Crow can rise above the tortuous winding road full of dark and dangerous pitfalls, and fly, was an epiphany. Realising I did not have to settle for compromise and a ‘quiet life’, that sometimes a discordant voice is vital to achieve best practice, I began to notice subtle changes in my practice and interpersonal relationships. Significantly, Crow enabled me to recognise and deal with suppressed anger at perceived injustice. (Carol Wood)
