Another workshop in the “Nothing But Skills" series. Because this training is skills-based, we’ll learn about the skills through a short lecture, Linda will then model the skill with a volunteer, then you’ll break up into small and large groups to practice it…so you’re ready to use it in your practice the very next day! Wear comfortable clothes, bring your water bottle, and an openness to connect with others to learn new skills! If you hate small group practice, connecting with other counselors, or hard work…this workshop is not for you. On the other hand, if you are serious about developing your skills as a social worker or counselor through evidence-based practice in small groups of your peers, come on out because “Nothing But Skills” is for you!
Narrative therapy is as old as time. Through the centuries, cultures told their stories through an oral tradition, through song, and the written word. Building on this age old tradition, Narrative Therapy adds structure to support safety while revisiting the client’s life story. Narrative Therapy techniques invite the client to re-write their story to bring about a new perspective of acceptance and forgiveness. Often a client can then begin to examine their present story and envision a future story that embraces their newfound perspective, honoring and leaving behind the emotional baggage of their old story. We will build foundational skills for narrative therapy and practice them leading to workshop participants developing a vision for their present and future story.
OBJECTIVES:
We look forward to seeing you there!
