Read a few testimonials from our course registrants:

So much stood out! I keep coming back to this idea of panning for gold. The area I live in has a huge gold mining history. Often, when hiking in the mountains, I come across a gold miner or two working in the rivers. I remember having a conversation with a miner and him saying, ‘The miners in this area, back in the day, they barely scratched the surface. There’s still an f*#@ tonne of gold in these hills. It makes me think about how, in our conversations, we can scratch the surface, or we can take the time and intrigue to pan for the gold that is there waiting to be discovered. I think, too, it’s about refining our ‘panning craft’ and honing our eyes to see those ‘glints of gold’ that might easily be missed.

Thank you so much to all the incredible people who contributed to this course and put it together! It was wonderful to revisit the tenets of narrative therapy again, as I sorely need these continued revisitations to keep striving to be a narrative therapist! It was really nice to see all the contributors’ different points of view and journeys, helping me to see how they continue to conceptualize narrative work and develop new ideas to enrich it.

Usually, when we watch a video of a master, we remember how wonderful the master is, but in all of David’s cases, we also remember how good the client is. Their goodness becomes a landmark in our career, and we can transfer that to others to say how good they are.

Re-Authoring Teaching’s influence has been life-changing to my mindset as a therapist. These courses —and the website —are full of resources for the community of ideas. A big Thank You to Peggy and the crew!

Online Courses in Active Development

We are currently developing two self-paced online courses that build on our deep respect for narrative therapy’s philosophical foundations, key concepts, and interviewing practices. These courses also honor the ongoing evolution of narrative therapy, creating opportunities to engage with other valued approaches for supporting people facing serious challenges in their lives and relationships. The upcoming courses—Contemporary Narrative Therapy and Em-BODY-ing Conversations—will each offer a unique perspective and rich learning experience.

Stay tuned to this site and sign up for our newsletter to be the first to know when these new courses are available.
