This consultation group is for people who are interested in having perhaps difficult or uncomfortable conversations around difference with regards to race and privilege in the therapy room. Our hope is that this group will provide clinicians an opportunity to uncover possible blind spots and biases around differences and to work through situations or hiccups that we may have encountered in relationship to our clients and maybe our daily lives. Through direct conversation in a brave and safe space we will discuss topics/behaviors that may cause us hesitation in our conversations or with questioning our clients. Further, we will work together to formulate narrative language that may help us to access the unknown with our clients.
Beginning in September 2020, the group will meet online via Zoom on the third Saturday of the month 12-1:30 pm EST (9-10:30 am PST time): September 19, October 17, November 21, December 19, January 16 and February 20.

This consultation group, limited to 12 people, is aimed at narrative coaches and all Narrapists who work with companies, organizations, public services, hospitals, associations, etc. Two directions of work will be practiced. First: understanding narrative concepts in the world of organizations while maintaining ethical vigilance, and second: engaging participants in the engineering and deployment of their own narrative coaching missions in their own particular contexts.
One of the group’s intentions might also be to produce a collective book based on the conversations carried out together.
New Group starts September 3, 2020! The group will meet every other week for 1.5 hours (2 hours for the first session) for 3 months on Thursday evenings from 5 pm – 6:30 pm French Time (11 am NY Time; 9am Pacific time, etc) starting September 3, 2020. The fee is $390. There is limited amount of scholarship funds available. Contact Pierre Blanc-Sahnoun at [email protected] if you have any questions.

Welcome! This consultation group is for people who have taken—or are taking—my online course: Escaping Blame: Helping Couples Develop Account-ability. I hope that this group will provide you an exciting opportunity to develop your narrative practice with couples in a small, safe and supportive context. We will divide the time up evenly so that everyone gets their share of the group’s support. We will develop clear guidelines for presenting our work and our questions to each other. We will meet monthly to give ample time to experiment with ideas and methods between meetings. Limited to 8 participants. New group begins July 13th 2020, and meets 5 pm EST for 1.5 hours/six times.

New Group starts September 25, 2020
This Consultation Group is limited to 12 mental health workers or educators who have had experience with mindfulness, EMDR Therapy or Somatic-Oriented Therapies in addition to a Narrative Therapy approach. Through didactic material and sharing tales of our work with those who consult us, we will explore what becomes possible when we create different kinds of scaffolding using sensations, images/visual metaphors and memories in non-discursive ways. Talking about embodied anti-racist practices and working with racialized bodies will be privileged throughout our time together. We will also explore decolonizing collective healing practices. As a prerequisite, participants will have previously taken an Em-BODY-ing Conversations training (online or in person) or have experienced integrating at least one of the following modalities with a Narrative Approach: mindfulness, somatic therapies, EMDR.
New Group starts September 25, 2020 and will meet via Zoom every other week on Friday mornings, 8:30-10:00 Pacific Time (11:30am -1pm NY time). Six sessions: September 25, October 9, October 23, November 6, November 20th & December 4. The fee is $390 with limited scholarship funds available.

FUTURE TRAINING GROUP!
Are you interested in exploring an affective-discursive approach to clinical work that integrates EMDR Therapy and somatic-oriented practices with a Narrative Therapy both philosophically and practically? Through didactic presentation, experiential exercises and client tales, this training group will explore what becomes possible when we create different kinds of scaffolding using sensations, images, affect, and memories in non-discursive ways. The training will explore how the following shapes discernment in moving between different landscapes in our clinical work: Relational Constructionism, Interpersonal Neurobiology, Memory Theory, The Affective-Discursive Turn in Psychotherapy, Moral Imagination, and the Politics of Experience.
Note: This training group will meet 1.5 hours per month via Zoom. We hope to begin a new group in 2020. PLEASE CONTACT US TO BE PUT ON WAITING LIST!
