Examine a narrative approach to trauma and addictions treatment that not only can provide immediate relief for clients but also is sustainable for counselors and therapists. Within narrative therapy, the telling of a traumatic story is not focused on what was done to the person, which can retraumatize, but rather on their responses. Narrative therapists help people reauthor traumatic experiences into stories about their intentions and values. This approach decentralizes the therapist, helping the therapist become less vulnerable to feelings of overresponsibility and thus preventing burnout. The workshop is accessible for people new to narrative therapy.
