Narrative Group Therapy

Filed Under Group Therapy, Therapy | Leave a Comment

I an offering a free group therapy class through EXCO Free School.  The title of the class is “Changing the Narrative of our Mental Illness”. 

Details:

 Through the use of storytelling we will explore our experiences with mental illness.  Then with the group process we will explore the individual and collective meanings that uphold the meanings of our mental illnesses.  We will then be listening for an alternative story that can tell us about our preferred way of being.

This class is both a self healing class and an exploration of social justice issues through the eyes and minds of those of us coping with mental illness.

I will be listing the readings here as they become available:
1. Trafficking in the World of Possibilities
2. The Narrative Construction of Reality

Class date(s): 
Repeats every week every Monday until Tue Oct 20 2009 .

September 28, 2009 – 6:30pm – October 19, 2009 – 8:00pm
