“The person is not the problem; the problem is the problem”. – Michael White
This formative statement is a core principle for narrative-oriented therapists.
Something becomes “a problem” when it gets in the way of a person’s life, visions, and hopes. How we approach the problem shapes how we look at it, what we will find, and how we act in response.
A client may come to you in the grip of a problem-saturated story about themselves or some aspect of their life. Narrative therapy approaches invoke curiosity about the meaning of the problem to them...
How this meaning informs their thoughts and actions, and ways in which these are, or are not, helpful.
A narrative-oriented therapist is guided by positioning theory, which suggests we come to know and experience ourselves through relationships within our unique histories, cultures, and political systems.
Informed by this orientation therapist and client work together to co-research, deconstruct, and reauthor the problem-saturated story.
Now, in this live online training with narrative therapy expert Merle Conyer, you will find out how to apply the tools and techniques of this powerful approach to your practice...
So you can support clients in reclaiming their life from the effects of a problem, find their way back to preferred identities...
And discover hopeful possibilities for their future that honour valued relationships and treasured aspects of their history and culture.
Register now to enjoy a day of stimulating ideas, illustrative examples, practical exercises, case study reflections, presenter-attendee dialogue, and more.

To effectively treat trauma, you need to be able to access the full range of your client’s emotions, memories, parts, and inner life.
But to do this work requires that you know how to use these often-fragile elements of a person WITHOUT re-traumatising your clients.
In this unique training, you’ll master skills from the Jungian-based Process Oriented Psychology (POP) approach that will help your clients understand and navigate their inner world…
So that they can know all parts of themselves to become safer, unburdened, and find post-traumatic growth.
