Description

This workshop provides a practice-based introduction to narrative therapy. Participants explore the principles, philosophies and concepts underpinning this approach, and how they are similar or different to other models. The workshop introduces techniques involved in narrative therapy, including starting and ending the session, and common questions and responses used by the therapist. Experiential exercises enable participants to practice these skills in a supportive environment.

If time permits, the workshop will also explore identity and action, witnessing responses and therapeutic documents.

This event will cover:

  • 'Double listening' i.e. simultaneously listening for both the effects of trauma and the client's responses to trauma
  • 'Externalising' the effects of trauma
  • Eliciting and highlighting people's responses to trauma
  • Building the person's preferred story with their responses
  • Using their responses to restore from the trauma's effects their sense of self & identity

Trainers
