Course Overview:
This 6 hour workshop will focus on how the story enhances the supervision by utilizing the creative process. Story in the supervisory process emphasizes the universality of each person’s experience as well as inviting creative play by following the images and imaginative processes of the psyche.
- Images of fairy tales, myths and folktales stimulate hope
- Story narratives and images have the power to give supervisors, supervisees and their clients the sense that their problems are not irresolvable and they are not alone with their own unique life issues.
- Stories enhance the feeling of connection to the larger collective whole,
- Stories also serve as transitional objects.
Through didactic theoretical presentation, case studies, and experiential processes, participants will learn to clinically use Jungian oriented Expressive Arts Therapy with a focus on the use of story to address issues in supervision.
Course Description:
Story in the supervisory process makes use of the images and imaginative processes of the psyche. Images of fairy tales, myths and folktales stimulate hope and have the power to give supervisors, supervisees and their clients the sense that their problems are not irresolvable and they are not alone with their own unique life issues. Stories enhance the feeling of connection to the larger collective whole. Stories also serve as transitional objects.
In this class we will study the healing teaching nature of story and its uses in the supervisory relationship to promote creative and successful clinical work. Stories will be explored in many expressive arts modalities using visual arts, movement and drama. Workshop participants will have a chance to share and engage with their most significant stories and have a storytelling experience. In group and dyadic formats students will experiment with how the images that are activated in the therapist and supervisor’s psyche can be translated into a fairytale, myth, folktale or teaching story to be used as a focus in the therapeutic relationship. We will engage with how the triad of client and therapist material stimulates an internal story for the supervisory either an actual fairytale/legend etc. or another image, that could be translated into a story. This image is worked with internally by the supervisor and given back to the supervisee as a means for understanding the client and the transference/countertransference intersubjective issues in the relationship.
Purpose and Benefits of the Course:
