The stories clients tell about their lives shape how they see themselves, their problems, and their possibilities. Narrative therapy invites clients to step into new relationships with their challenges by re-authoring the stories that have been influenced by culture, power, and lived experience.
This training introduces psychotherapists to the foundations of narrative practice, with a focus on the role of language in shaping identity, the influence of power in sustaining problem-saturated stories, and the therapeutic possibilities that emerge when clients begin to author new narratives.
Through demonstration, discussion, and hands-on practice, participants will explore how to listen for problem stories, ask generative questions, and highlight moments of strength and resilience. Attendees will leave with practical tools to begin weaving narrative therapy ideas into their everyday sessions, creating space for clients to discover fresh perspectives and empowering alternative storylines.
Objectives
- Develop an understanding of the core principles of narrative therapy, including the role of language in shaping meaning and identity.
- Learn practical techniques for externalizing problems, asking narrative questions, and amplifying alternative stories.
