RE-Storying Trauma Experiences: A Narrative Map for Integrative Therapy Practices

Abstract
Narrative Therapy is useful and impactful, especially with families and clients from diverse backgrounds. However, some clients benefit from engaging not only the intellectual aspects of Narrative therapy, but the body-based, regulating work available through Integrative practices, as well. This combination allows therapists and clients to actively co-create new experiences and identities as they revisit distressing narratives to enact change. This 10 hour presentation proposes useful intersections between Narrative Therapy practices and Integrative Therapy practices, pulling from EMDR, Somatic therapies, parts work (referencing IFS-informed EMDR and structural dissociation of parts), and the developmental psychological underpinnings of these practices. The presentation includes video examples of these interventions in action, transcripts, as well as experiential applications. Didactic review of modalities, research, developmental psychology, and specific interventions. Reflective questions to invite participant integration throughout the presentation.
