The Course

Dive into the transformative world of narrative therapy, a therapeutic approach that empowers individuals to rewrite their traumatic experiences into powerful personal stories. In this course, you'll explore techniques to help clients detach their identity from their trauma, reclaiming their lives with renewed meaning and purpose. It’s all about understanding how the stories we tell ourselves shape our reality and learning the skills to craft a new, more resilient self-narrative.

Whether you're a budding therapist or someone looking to enrich their toolkit for personal growth, this course offers hands-on strategies for real-life application. You'll witness the profound impact of narrative therapy through engaging in interactive sessions where theory meets practice. By the end of this journey, you'll be equipped to guide others in restoring their sense of self after trauma and hold awareness of how trauma impacts the sense of self.

What you will learn

You know, when I first put this course together, I went to great lengths to ensure that it would be an invaluable resource for anyone beginning their journey toward trauma-informed practice. I weave together the principles of narrative therapy in such a way that allows you to gently support your clients to reclaim their story and rewrite it on their own terms. It's structured to help ground you in the theory while giving you hands-on tools and strategies that are easy to grasp, even if you're completely new to this approach. Participants often tell me how much clarity they've found through completing this training – it's like watching pieces of a puzzle click into place. And that's no accident; every aspect has been meticulously planned to empower you to become confident in applying Narrative Therapy practice to trauma work.

In this workshop, you will learn:

Core beliefs and principals of Narrative Therapy practice
Common experiences of the 'Trauma Narrative' of clients presenting with a trauma experience
