5 Day Intensive Narrative Therapy Training Program

With DAVID EPSTON

About the Program
People give meaning to their lives through the “identity stories” that are available to them. These stories make it possible for them to make sense of their own life experiences. This five-day, skill-building training experience will explore the propositions associated with the Narrative metaphor and will demonstrate the practices of narrative therapy that help people to challenge and break free of these negative stories and assist them to explore alternative“identity stories” that offer new possibilities for their lives. The practice of Narrative Therapy will be illustrated through vignettes, videotaped segments of interviews and small group exercises.

Narrative Therapy Training Program

Karen Young, M.S.W. and Guest Trainer Scot Cooper B.A.

This training program offers participants the opportunity to fully explore the many exciting ideas and practices that inform the poststructuralist therapies such as narrative practice. This experience will involve 36 hours of thorough examination of narrative ways of thinking and being, presented in clear useable ways that can be taken into everyday therapeutic work. Participants will be encouraged and inspired to use their new knowledge, experience, and imaginations to create a therapy practice that is uniquely their own. The option for an extended program that includes practicing at a walk-in clinic with the trainer is available.
