Narrative Therapy with Couples
Jodi Aman
Jodi will illustrate how Narrative Therapy has informed her work with couples. Couple counselling can be daunting when couples often enter therapy in high conflict. Jodi will explore skills in "double listening" in responding to conflict and how such skills assist stories of love, compassion and sharing to emerge. Participants will develop skills in using the maps of narrative therapy with couples through watching and discussing videos and engaging in practice exercises around the following concepts:
· Conflict dissolution · Positively implicating partners · Externalizing relationship arrangements · Exploring actions, intentions, responsibility and respect · Helping partners be curious about what is 'absent but implicit' in their partner's expressions · Navigating discourses of power and abuse · Repositioning one partner as an outsider witness · Acknowledgment practices |
