Description

This course introduces and explores concepts and techniques of the Narrative Therapy approach (of Michael White and David Epston) to working with families and family members who have experienced trauma. You will have the opportunity to practice these approaches in a supportive environment. Prior knowledge of Narrative Therapy is recommended but not required.

Note: The day will particularly focus on the use of Narrative Therapy with families.

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 client responses to restore a person’s sense of self and identity following the effects of trauma
