In this two-part workshop series, participants will develop a rich understanding of this respectful and collaborative approach to healing. Participants will learn about the narrative worldview and how narrative therapy skills are put into practice. The focus will include the narrative metaphor, the post-structuralist worldview, non-pathologizing conversations, and the basics of helping people experience rich and meaningful stories about the possibilities for their lives.

Narrative therapists help clients rewrite traumatic experiences into stories about their intentions and values. This approach decentralizes the therapist, helping the therapist avoid feeling responsible and overwhelmed. In addition, the theoretical framework of narrative therapy includes the larger system into the therapeutic process by taking into account cultural themes, social injustices, history, gender issues, politics, acculturation issues, immigration and the politics of therapy. Narrative counseling helps clients identify what they want in their own lives and re-connect with their own knowledge and strength.

With this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Review of the narrative worldview and identify narrative metaphor
• Discuss the narrative practice and externalizing conversations
• Learn how to re-author conversations
• Explain and conduct re-membering conversations
• Demonstrate narrative documentation and letter writing
• Describe tree of life group work

Mary Dove, LCSW, Founder of the Center of Narrative Studies, is a licensed psychotherapist with over a decade of clinical experience. With a private practice in Chelsea, she also provides psychotherapy at The Juilliard School Counseling Services.She is well known for her work as a community organizer through her large scale projects engaging and supporting women in changing the dominant cultural narrative, such as Changemakers: Spotlighting Women Revolutionizing Change. In recent years, in accordance with her long-time interest in creativity and the power of story, Mary is devoted to learning and teaching the extraordinary benefits of narrative therapy.

Amelia Yankey, LCSW is a therapist in Brooklyn primarily working with individuals and couples in the queer and trans community. Before working as a therapist, she worked for many years with people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and with people who were homeless, experiences which cemented her belief that capitalism, racism, and other hierarchies are fundamentally opposed to human well-being. Amelia strives to be a part of the collective movement for justice. She works with narrative therapy with the hope that it might be a part of applying that liberatory aim to the therapeutic relationship.
