February 11, 2023Good morning from the unceded lands of Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations (Vancouver, Canada). I’m Shila, born and raised East Javanese & North Sumatran from Indonesia. So lovely to hear from you all!
This must be the warmest, realest, and most human welcome I’ve ever experienced in an online course! Thank you for putting a big smile on my face. Really excited to learn from everyone 🙂

January 13, 2023I love the concept of telling and re-telling our story in therapy. I believe that we are the authors of our lives and through telling our stories or re-creating our stories can help us understand not only our culture, but also understand ourselves. I love using Narrative Therapy in my practice, especially when I can combine it with art therapy. I am really looking forward to hearing and learning of others experience and expanding my own understanding and clinical practice.

August 25, 2022Alberto’s welcome has struck me in the first few seconds. I am Australian born and know first hand so many people of my generation who went to school and were ‘given’ a name that the admin officer could pronounce instead of using the actual name given by their parents. I am looking forward to learning more.

August 9, 2022G’day. Kia Ora. Guten Morgen. What a wonderful welcome to the course and a lovely reminder that we are all made up of many stories past and present. I’m looking forward to exploring a Narrative approach further, how this relates to me and the people I talk and listen with.
Thanks for the welcome- sharing with Canadian mob!

January 31, 2022I was exposed to Narrative Therapy while studying a Masters in Counselling. After practicing for two years in humanisitic approaches to therapy my interest in Narrative Therapy has been re-ignited through working with Indigenous people in the Northern Territory. Connection is crucial to any value being gained from therapy. Story telling is fundamental to Aboriginal culture and I am keen to explore the application of Narrative Therapy in in the context of Connection and Aboriginals Staying Strong.

October 23, 2021Narrative therapy is the perfect vehicle for cultures where dominant communication is, or was, oral stories. Your introductions authentically represent the way it can assist in the development of identity, inner strength and resilience. It is also a wonderful tool for healing trauma.Thankyou so much for offering such a powerful and necessary course.
Pandora Galea
October 22, 2021I love the warm welcome, which transcends the cultural divide. As said by Brene Brown: “owning our story and loving Ourselves through it, is the bravest thing that we will ever do.’ As a teacher tired of being in the restricitive shackles of government red tape I long to begin using narrative therapy (as I did in the classroom) as a tool for healing as well as a means of introducing Indigenous students in NT to the struggles of others in written form. There are very few stories for Indigenous students to access that are written by their people. They are even fewer that reflect what is seen as the mundane successes when compared with gold medal or footy final triumphs. Yet it is in the everyday overcoming of trauma, especially inter-generational trauma, that is miraculous and healing – both for the narrator and the reader. I hope this course takes me a step closer to this goal.
listening to welcome set a fire inside Me to find out more about this Narrative Therapy. Cant wait to start.

August 18, 2021I love how you can still continue your story which rooted from your own people even you are not in your land anymore. Shaping our own stories by how we see ourselves and integrate them into the new life, land and people you desired to belong. It’s very empowering. Thank you.
