The Tree of Life - A Narrative Therapy Approach - Customised training solution

Learn a narrative therapy approach for working with vulnerable people.

 

The Tree of Life is an approach that enables people to speak about their lives in ways that make them stronger.

 

This narrative therapy approach enables people to talk about their lives in ways that do not re-traumatise them, but instead, strengthen their connection with their history, culture, and the significant people in their lives.

 

This involves encouraging people to draw their own Tree of Life, where they get to talk about their roots (where they come from), their skills and knowledge, their hopes and dreams, and the special people in their lives. Participants then join their trees into a ‘forest of life’.
