Earn 6.5 CEU’s for LMFT, LP and LICSW
By John Stillman, LICSW
Kenwood Therapy Center, LLC
Narrative Therapy is a growing set of ethically based and innovative therapy practices, which recognize that people use narrative (or story) to make meaning of their lives and to construct their identities. Accordingly, people can change their lives and identities. Learn how to apply these ideas to the common challenges of couple therapy.
Narrative Therapy offers a way to work with people that fits both philosophically and experientially for professionals from numerous disciplines. People comment on the results they are seeing in their work and noticing new openings that were not there beforehand. Professionals have also stated that thinking in narrative ways has enriched their own experience of their work and has benefited their personal lives.
Participants will leave the workshop with an understanding of:
1. The narrative metaphor
2. Separating a person from a problem
3. Mapping conversations
4. Ideas such as personal agency, intentionality, and repositioning
5. Externalized practices such as use of a white board and art materials
