My ideal client is commited to personal growth. I believe we are all fragile creatures, yet capable of resilience. We experience painful thought/feeling states and then we weave stories to explain them. Narrative Therapy has been a natural fit for me: the client defines the goals, we examine the details of self-limiting stories, including family and cultural "scripts." We work to co-create stories about identity that have more space for possibilities and emotional resilience.
As the coordinator of bereavement outreach for children and teens at Iowa City Hospice (2004) I learned the value of a "grief lens." There are many losses in addition to death that are blows to our sense of identity: relationship, job, status and role losses. They have an impact on our sense of self, but we can grow from them.
My stance is "Teach me what it feels like to be you. What are your stories?" I pay attention to details, and have created concise handouts from many books: How to Have Healthy Conflict and Healthy Relationships, Anxiety as the Control Disease, How to Self-Soothe and be Mindful, How to Release Anger and Resentment, and Factors in Emotional Resilience.
