Marilyn’s Catch up!

There has been some recent changes to some of the workshop dates so if you are interested in them please re-check

The year 2009 went so fast and for me much of it taken up by house moves , office moves and an expanding family (grandchildren).

Consequently training workshops were limited. They included:

An Introduction to Narrative for graduates at Sydney University who left keen for more training.
A day of sharing ideas on the Narrative Therapy and mental health interface with the lovely folk at Dulwich Centre that was really stimulating.
Some training hours for students of the Jansen Newman Institute in Sydney in exploring the use of Narrative Ideas for working with eating disorders.
A great day doing training with Jane Hutton and Jill Freedman at Montville in Queensland after enjoying two days of teaching by Jill on working with couples.

Publication

I was pleased to have an article accepted and published in The Australian and New Zealand College of Family Therapy. In that writing I got to express some of my appreciations of Michael White, his work and his teachings.

Narrative Workshop

Thursday 19th and Friday 20th August 2010

Working with the Consequences of Trauma and Turning Distress on its Head

Facilitated by Marilyn O'Neill MA Cultural Psychologies

Narrative Therapist, Supervisor and Educator in Narrative Ideas for 20 years.

For therapists, counselors and community workers there are many occasions when we are witnessing expressions of distress and the consequences of trauma in peoples lives.

In the later years of his life Michael White he extended his thinking on the use of Narrative ideas for times when often we are not sure how to be most helpful. Michael incorporated existing Narrative Practice Ideas proposed some different thinking for times when we are confronted with distress as a consequence of trauma.

I (Marilyn) attended two of Michael White's intensives on trauma and have been applying these ideas in my own practice for several years. My excitement at the usefulness of Michael’s approach to the consequences of trauma and distress has led to my desire to support colleagues to explore the possibility of these ideas for their own work. The style of training will be conversational, interactive and generative of ideas for practice. An introduction to Narrative ideas prior to attendance will make the workshop ideas more accessible for anyone attending. This will be a small group workshop.

Venue will be the Thornton Room in the Kirribilli Neighborhood Centre
