Dealing with the Sexual Component of Women's Life Script Through a Fairy Tale Metaphor

Abstract

This article discusses the basic components of a life script in relation to the sexual sphere of life and proposes an algorithm for writing a fairy tale that reflects a female sexual script, and also pays attention to the most important points for understanding a sexual script when analyzing a client's fairy tale metaphor. Taking into account the specifics of the topic, the author suggests an approach that allows bypassing the client's resistance: integration of art-therapeutic technigues (fairy tale therapy, work with metaphorical associative cards) and transactional-analytical structure. The article offers reflections on working with the sexual sphere through exploring images, as well as on the formation of a fairy-tale metaphor, and provides an algorithm for writing a fairy tale reflecting a female sexual life script, and also pays attention to the most important points for understanding the sexual life script when analyzing a client's fairy-tale metaphor
