NARRATIVE TRADITION June 26th, 27th, 29th & 30th, 2006 9.30 AM - 4.30 PM We can read about 'treatment approaches' for people suffering from 'post traumatic stress disorder' or depression, or anorexia, or anxiety states, however therapeutic conversations rarely reflect these descriptions. Consequently I am interested in answering these questions:
Over these four days I'll answer these questions while demonstrating the following:

July 6th, 2006 9.30 AM - 4.30 PM Many of us struggle with the sense that something is wrong in our lives. When we search for an explanation for this we are often drawn to an investigation of our-selves. We pursue this investigation using a criteria which we are often unaware of. This criteria tends to disappear under the guise of 'this is normal'. Those experiences that either sit outside of what is considered 'normal' or are in some way different to generalised acceptable versions of self-hood raise the question, 'Perhaps I am not normal'. Sometimes the experience 'I'm not normal', is so pervasive that every interchange and every relationship is judged through these self-measures such as, 'I'm not good enough,' or 'I'm not going to measure up'. The 'I'm not normal' position is frequently felt as a deficit, something to be hidden or ashamed of. In this workshop I will introduce you to a therapeutic practice where people discover a process for answering this question 'Am I good enough?' Note: If we have limited registrations we cancel one month before the date of the workshop. This is due to overseas and out of town registrations. Cost: $160.00 (GST included)
July 13th & 14th, 2006 9.30 AM - 4.30 PM In this workshop we will be reflecting on how we negotiate and discover the meanings people make of their relationship with their body and their relationship to the sexual relationship. There will be a focus on 'reconstructing desire', 'taking opportunities for closeness' and 'reclaiming the body'. In this workshop, we will practice exposing the influences that are shaping of the meaning people (clients) make of sexual thoughts, feelings and experiences. Once these influences are apparent to us (therapist and client) will then experiment with alternative meanings and practices. This workshop does not address the mechanics of sexual functioning.

IN SUPER-VISION July 10th & 11th, 2006 9.30 AM - 4.30 PM This 2 day workshop will focus on creating a reflective process in super-vision where 'sense' is made relationally and contextually. There will be an emphasis on the following:
Throughout the two days I will demonstrate practical ways to experience extra-vision in super-vision. This workshop is relevant for people who facilitate the super-vision process. Note: If we have limited registrations we cancel one month before the date of the workshop. This is due to overseas and out of town registrations. Cost: $320.00 (GST included)
Oct. 30th, 31st, Nov. 2nd & 3rd, 2006 9.30 AM - 4.30 PM This workshop will appeal to people who are familiar with either of the books 'The Heart's Narrative' or 'Talk That sings'. I will discuss and demonstrate the practices I use to develop a contextual environment where change possibilities are made or constructed. These practices include the following:
The technical skills needed to conduct a resource centred interview will be emphasised through the use of video-tape, transcript and prismatic dialogue Note: If we have limited registrations we cancel one month before the date of the workshop.
