PROGRAM DETAILS

Human beings have an innate desire to make order and sense out of chaos but are often unable to do this effectively. Therapists need techniques and tools to help empower clients to overcome adversity, embrace change and thrive. For centuries, traditional storytellers, philosophers, theologians, anthropologists and sociologists have helped provide frameworks to understand and conquer life's transitions and challenges. These frameworks are used worldwide in clinical practices, schools, businesses, religious settings, communities and philosophies to promote resilience and drive individuals to thrive. Clinicians and other professionals can use these timeless concepts to help patients, clients and students manage the normal passages of life as well as overcome painful and traumatic experiences, including loss, grief, family and life transitions, crises, recovery from addiction and more.

Participants in this one-day seminar will examine the four steps universally found in great literature, spiritual texts and popular culture -- known as the Heroic Journey -- and learn how to utilize these concepts in a variety of client situations to help motivate and inspire. You will learn to utilize and adapt a multi-modal approach, including cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, Jungian, expressive, experiential, somatic, internal resource development and narrative therapies, for most types of clients. Attendees will receive an extensive manual with worksheet masters and access to additional resources to use with the populations they serve. Participants will also be given an opportunity to reflect experientially, privately or with others, on some of the applications of this seminar and may wish to bring a journal for reflective writing. You will leave with a new set of tools to put to work immediately to enhance your therapeutic repertoire.
