Who is this training for?

Other applicants with significant relevant work experience and therapeutic aptitude will be considered.

About the trainingThe stories people tell themselves and others about traumatic events do affect how they live their present and future lives. While the actual events and their effects can be helpfully explored, a narrative approach also seeks to bring forth and richly describe people’s responses to traumas. Often these responses have been, and still may be, of value to the person. Typically, these response stories are undeveloped or completely invisible.

Keeping this in mind, we will consider how to:

• Identify and name resistance to traumatic events: thoughts, feelings or actions taken that reduced the negative effects at the time and/or later

• Assist people to tell the unsaid stories: noticing details and asking helpful questions about them

• Relate to traumatic incidents from a safe place outside the trauma story

Friday 12 and Saturday 13 April 20199.00am - 4.30pm

“Brilliant. Personally and professionally inspiring.”

“I found this to be uplifting, hopeful, and increased my competence to address the impact of trauma on my clients and consider the ways they have showed strengths and resilience.”

• Bring forth a valued sense of self in spite of the effects of trauma

• Name the relational politics of traumatic experience

We will also think about how we might bring these constructive responses to trauma, the actual incident/s, and the effects of trauma, into a fuller storied life.

This practical and interactive workshop will explore the importance of asking different kinds of questions while creating a felt-sense of compassion. Participants will be introduced to a variety of ways of working with people including some mindfulness and somatic awareness skills as complementary to narrative question-asking.

Brief and extended stories from therapy will illustrate narrative approaches

“The notion of re-storying creates genuine hope particularly in response to the adversity of trauma. A very worthwhile training.”
