Master the art of narrative therapy: a unique journey with Charlie Crettenand
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.
Pre-recorded online course • Downloadable documents • Practical exercises
More than content to consume: an experience of transmission
The course was imagined as a narrative crossing. The sequences are set in natural environments and creative stagings that support attention, sensitivity and memorisation.
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.
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.
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.
What you will learn
- Understand the philosophical and theoretical foundations of the narrative approach.
- Get acquainted with the therapist's decentred yet influential stance.
- Discover key tools: externalisation, problem mapping, poetic documentation.
- Approach specific fields such as identity migration or eating disorders from a narrative perspective.
- Open up to a clinic of the story grounded in listening for resources, dignity and the reclaiming of self.
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.
It can also serve as a complementary resource for practising therapists who wish to reconnect with landmarks, nourish their practice or revisit certain concepts at their own pace.
8 modules + 1 bonus to explore the foundations of the narrative approach
