Master the art of narrative therapy: a unique journey with Charlie Crettenand

Immersive online course

The foundations of the narrative approach

A narrative journey with Charlie Crettenand, designed as a genuine audiovisual experience of initiation into the narrative approach.

This online course was designed to transmit the foundations of the narrative approach in a sensitive, structured and embodied way. This is not simply a succession of talking-head videos, but a journey filmed as an experience in its own right.

The content was crafted with particular attention to image, rhythm, atmospheres, natural settings and staging, so that learning is also a crossing. You progress at your own pace, with the possibility of rewatching each sequence as many times as needed.

Why this course is different

More than content to consume: an experience of transmission

01

An audiovisual journey

The course was imagined as a narrative crossing. The sequences are set in natural environments and creative stagings that support attention, sensitivity and memorisation.

02

Lifetime access

You are buying a resource you can draw on over the long term: revisit a concept, listen to a conversation again, come back to a stance or a tool according to your needs of the moment.

03

A serious initiation

This course is a clear gateway into the narrative approach. It does not replace long-term training, but it offers a very rich foundation for discovering this practice or nourishing an ongoing reflection.

Intended audience

Who this course is for

This course is aimed at mental-health, support and helping-relationship professionals, as well as anyone interested in life stories and narrative practices.

Psychologists Psychotherapists Social workers Educators Support professionals Helping-relationship practitioners People curious about life stories
Prerequisites: none required. This training was designed as a sensitive, poetic initiation into the narrative approach.
Objectives

  • Discover key tools: externalisation, problem mapping, poetic documentation.
  • Approach specific fields such as identity migration or eating disorders from a narrative perspective.

Where this course fits

An inspiring gateway, not a substitute for foundational training

This course is an in-depth introduction to narrative practices. It is an excellent way in to discover the approach, clarify its landmarks and immerse yourself in its spirit.

Complexe Systémique • Julien Besse • contact@complexe-systemique.com

Plonge au cœur d'une expérience unique et immersive au cœur de la thérapie narrative, telle qu'imaginée notamment par Michael White et David Epston.

Pour te guider, Charlie Crettenand, psychologue-psychothérapeute en approche narrative (Trame Narrative). Avec iel, Julien Besse, psychologue-psychothérapeute en approche systémique.

Accompagné·es de plusieurs invité·es tels que Sebastien Ebener, Nath Weber et Jacqueline Sigg, tu entreprendras un voyage exceptionnel ! Embarque pour une aventure narrative où chaque instant est une invitation à la découverte et à l'enrichissement. Imagine une journée où le temps semble suspendu, une escapade unique, une occasion rare de plonger au cœur de l'approche narrative.

De l'aube au coucher du soleil, nous partagerons une journée hors du commun, marquée par des échanges authentiques, des expériences émouvantes et des découvertes qui promettent de transformer notre regard sur nous-même et sur le monde qui nous entoure.

8 modules (+ un bonus), soit 20 vidéos originales, ainsi que de la documentation, des exercices t'attendent, pour 5 heures de formation, ainsi qu'une communauté en ligne sur Discord, pour partager tes expériences.

Cette formation est pensée comme une sensibilisation aux pratiques narratives. Elle ne remplace pas une formation de base (12 jours), ni la qualité de la transmission et des échanges en présentiel.

Notre intention est de permettre de découvrir cette approche, d'en récolter quelques scintillances, et surtout, d'éveiller ta curiosité !

Entrons ensemble au cœur de la puissante métaphore de migration identitairede Michael White et voyons comment elle peut nous accompagner dans les conversations que nous menons avec les personnes face aux difficultés et épreuves existentielles (deuil, séparation, maladie...)

Il est temps de s'emparer d'une thématique chère à mon cœur, la résistance anti-anorexie/boulimie. Nous verrons comment l'aborder dans une perspective narrative puis, très concrètement, dans nos pratiques avec les personnes concernées.

Morgane-Laurie et Lina que vous rencontrez ici, nous rejoindront pour un moment très émouvant...

Passe un moment avec d'autres thérapeutes narratix qui te parlent de leur parcours et leurs inspirations et acheminons-nous ensemble vers les points de suspension de cette formation, histoire de faire le point sur ce que tu emportes avec toi et ce que tu continueras à fertiliser !
