Course Structure

Our exploration of Story Therapy will follow a structured path, beginning with an understanding of the fundamental components of storytelling:

• Desire: We’ll explore the diverse desires that shape our lives and those of the characters we encounter in stories.
• Cause: Characters do not exist in isolation; they are influenced by causes and relationships. We’ll examine the role of mentors, challenges, and guiding forces in our own narratives. Our lives are filled with relationships, and these connections profoundly impact our narratives. We’ll explore the dynamics of relationships, from our relationships with our bodies, our spouse, our family, and our community, and how they influence our personal journeys.
• Process: Life is a journey, and the path to realizing our desires is rarely straightforward. We’ll dissect the processes we undergo, the choices we make, and the obstacles we face.
• Effect: Actions have consequences, and these ripple through our lives. We’ll explore the emotional and psychological effects of our experiences.
• Result: Every story leads to a result, whether positive or negative. We’ll consider the outcomes of our journeys and what they reveal about us.

Throughout the course, you will find engaging lessons, reflective exercises, and real-world examples that will deepen your understanding of story therapy and its potential for personal growth.
