About this session

Participants will be introduced to the idea that stories create meaning and give understanding to events that happen to us.  We do this by the way in which we construct stories about these events. 

Important underlying values and principles of stories will be covered including ideas of being able to re-author your story, re-membering, finding exceptions in your story, honouring strength and resilience as well as honouring other things that are important to us, respecting other’s stories and flexibility (recognising that there is no single truth). 

The pre recorded presentation will end with an exercise inviting participants to think about and reflect on what stories we tell about ourselves and others.  It will introduce people to ‘thin’ descriptions and ‘rich’ descriptions and ask them to think about the origins of the stories that we hold about ourselves.
