THE NARRATIVE TRAINING CENTRE
Johnella Bird - Workshop 1
Vital Reflection - Developing skills for self and peer super-vision
29th and 30th August, 9.30 – 4.30
Clinicians often comment that there is barely enough time in super‐vision to overview the dilemmas, struggles and joys they’ve encountered in therapeutic work. Consequently the commonly uttered lament, ‘I don’t have enough time to reflect on my work,’ attests to many lost opportunities to reflect on both, what’s working and what’s not.
In this workshop you will learn how to use the new and practical super‐vision tool that I’ve developed. This tool incorporates questioning wheels (the ‘I’ and ‘You’ wheels) that will enable you to generate the kind of new perspectives that are essential for self super‐vision and peer super‐vision. This vital reflection tool will also assist you to review the presuppositions that are shaping therapeutic or super‐vision conversations while at the same time liberating new directions for enquiry.
Introductory Course in Narrative Therapy
Twice yearly introductory course.
Courses begin on the first Thursday evening of March and September each year. The course runs for 12 weeks, from 6:30pm to 9:30pm.
Johnella Bird - Workshop 2
Change-Making Conversations With Couples
1st and 2nd September, 9.30 – 4.30
There will be a focus on developing the skills to do the following:
- Effectively use whatever is said or experienced in the room.
- Explore intentions rather than believing in or disbelieving these intentions. Generate a narrative platform with the discoveries we make while also actively negotiating conversation direction.
- Explore everyday ‘truth’ assumptions.
- Move discoveries into everyday practices.
To get the most out of this workshop participants are encouraged to view Johnella's DVDs/workbook Series 1 (Constructing Narratives To Make A Difference)
