This workshop will inform clinicians ways to work with both emotion and narrative processes. Angus has identified key narrative-emotion process problem, transition and change markers that facilitate client emotional transformation and story outcomes. Although they share a common empathic base, the identified markers differ in the degree to which specific autobiographical memories are evoked, narrative context is elaborated, bodily felt experience and emotions are expressed and clients’ experiences of
change are reflected upon for new meaning making and self-narrative reconstruction.
Importantly, the identification of strength-based process markers indicating client readiness for change - such as competing plot line stories, discovery stories and unexpected outcome stories - are addressed and key strategies for enhancing client emotional change processes, for new story outcomes, presented in the context of videotaped therapy sessions.
Drawing on case examples drawn from treatments of Depression and Trauma, this workshop will be of interest to therapists who have been working with narrative-focused therapy approaches and would now like to explore how to more fully integrate the power of working with both emotional and narrative change processes, for effective, sustained treatment outcomes.
