Narrative Therapy with Depression: Moving Towards Preferred Identities Depression can have a very powerful grip on some people making it difficult to know how to proceed with life. As described by a thirty year old woman ‘The cloud of depression makes me exhausted. I could sleep all the time. I can’t describe it…it’s like a crushing fatigue. Depression has me always thinking …Where is my life going?’ The weight of depression has the ability to obscure preferred identity stories while diminishing hope.
A Narrative Therapy approach offers effective and helpful skills and practices for elevating hope when working with stories of depression. In this one-day workshop participants will learn:
· Questions for therapeutic conversations that assist people to journey from stories of depression to stories of preferred identities. · About Michael White’s re-authoring conversations map · How to hold therapeutic conversations that consider the socio-political and cultural contexts of people’s lives · How to discover and explore unique outcomes – finding a ‘crack’ in the story of depression and hopelessness
This workshop will be suited to practitioners who have an existing knowledge of Narrative Therapy. If you are a newcomer to narrative ideas, we suggest first reading the introductory chapters available online from the Dulwich Centre website titled What is Narrative Therapy? by Alice Morgan
