Narrative therapy is a powerful modality that helps our clients identify and reinterpret the stories that shape their lives. In doing so, clients can begin to see their struggles from a more empowering perspective. In this workshop, we will explore the foundations of narrative therapy and how it is used in clinical practice. You will also learn narrative therapy-based interventions and strategies that you can use with clients. This workshop will be highly experiential, featuring journaling and small group discussions. Please be sure to have a notebook on hand.
Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:
Define narrative therapy
Identify the key concepts that underlie narrative therapy
Implement at least five narrative therapy-based interventions with clients
Help their clients rewrite their life stories from a healthier, more empowering perspective
