Illness Narratives: Novel ideas for working with people living with a chronic illness
David Martin
Living with a chronic illness can be a complex and challenging experience. A life-altering illness diagnosis impacts multiple aspects of a person’s life, challenging their worldview and sense of self, and affecting their relationships and work life. This intensive 6-hour workshop will offer therapists ideas and practices for supporting people navigating the complexities of chronic illness. By integrating the assumptions and principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Narrative Practices, you will learn ways to support people living with a chronic illness in re-authoring a more hopeful view of their future, building resilience, and enhancing their overall quality of life.

NOVEL PRACTICES FOR BREAKING FREE FROM PANIC AND ANXIETY: A Somatic meets Narrative training
David Martin
Panic and anxiety are amongst the most frequent problems that people present when seeking therapy. Their personal stories often reflect the impoverishing and debilitating effects that it has on their ability to appreciate and participate in the mundane details of everyday life. In this one-of-a-kind workshop, Jim and Bob will present a range of valuable assumptions and practices for addressing panic and anxiety that are not normally presented together. They are all non-normative time-sensitive approaches to therapy. Jim will be focusing on brief narrative practices and Bob will be focusing on somatic approaches including energy psychology and Ericksonian hypnosis. Together they will present empowering alternative short-term approaches for overcoming panic and anxiety
Narrative therapy can help people with panic and anxiety challenge negative thoughts and beliefs by deconstructing the problem saturated stories and identifying subordinate storylines that contradict the problem saturated narratives. These previously subordinated stories can be developed into “thicker” narratives, thus releasing the hold of the “thin” narratives of panic and anxiety on peoples’ lives.
Meanwhile, Ericksonian and energy psychology approaches provide methods for deconstructing the consciousness and somatic practices of anxiety and panic that provide the fertile ground for healing and resourcefulness and resilience.
Both Approaches privilege people’s local knowledge, emphasizing abilities rather than deficits, possibilities rather than limitations and what is strong, rather than what is wrong in people.
COLLABORATIVE SUPERVISION and PEER CONSULTATION
In this interactive workshop Caroline & Jim will invite participants to journey through the post-structuralist assumptions that inform critically reflective practices. These practices can be applied to a wide range of environments including but not limited to non-profit, social service organizations, independent practices, coaching practices, corporate environments, health care, and educational environments and will be of interest to both experienced and hardworking beginner supervisors and consultants.
Collaborative and reflective supervision offers a radical departure from traditional supervision. In traditional supervision, which is located in individualism and steeped in normative judgement, it is common practice to see people as isolated entities, devoid of context. Reflective supervision and consultation locates people within their social cultural context. Caroline and Jim will make clear the complexities and the many uses of critically reflective practices in your work. You will learn how to infuse your conversations with post-structuralist curiosity and questions that invite people to get in touch with their values, commitments, knowledges and skills. It aims to unearth dominant assumptions about power and responses to power (master narratives).
