Metaphors and stories can be effective in therapy because they often bypass a client's resistance and defenses, allowing them to be more receptive to the message being conveyed.

Finally, the imaginative and engaging qualities of metaphors and stories may hold the client's attention more effectively than a straightforward didactic approach.
