About This Workshop
This full-day training explores the power of storytelling as a tool for healing and transformation in psychotherapy. Drawing inspiration from the Griot tradition in West African culture, as well as other storytelling traditions, this session will provide clinicians with strategies to integrate spirituality, narrative therapy, trauma-informed principles, and cultural humility into their practice.
Participants will engage in interactive storytelling exercises, examine the psychological and spiritual dimensions of personal narratives, and develop practical applications for using storytelling to enhance therapeutic relationships, client empowerment, and emotional healing.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
- Apply storytelling techniques to help clients reframe personal narratives and develop coping strategies.
- Analyze the role of cultural humility, trauma-informed care, and psychological safety in using storytelling as a therapeutic tool.
- Critique different storytelling frameworks (e.g., Hero's Journey, Narrative Therapy, Griot tradition, etc.) for their effectiveness in spiritual and psychological healing.
- Create a structured approach for integrating storytelling into their therapeutic practice to foster spiritual and emotional well-being.
