A day of reflective practice for therapists interested in using fairytale to develop understanding of ourselves and our work.
About this Event

Winter is coming and it might be time to think about a nourishing CPD gift to yourself?

I would like to invite you to a winter fairytale reflective practice day.

Winter fairytales spin understandings of the perils and possibilities of what might happen to us when we find ourselves out in the cold. In this workshop we will take two winter fairytales and together as a group look at their psychology.

Like any art - stories are a pleasure in and of themselves. They also act as a tool for remembering, of carrying hope, expressing sorrow, shocking us into rebalancing an understanding, they allow for growth of awareness (de Botton, 2020) and can both guide and manipulate us in our social and political contexts. We will use the two selected stories to help us shed light on our professional lives and work environments.


Myths, Folklore and Fairy tales can be particularly potent as they have been collectively crafted over time, carrying ancient truths that can be understood on several levels at once: the conscious, the unconscious, the individual experience and the social world.


AIM OF THE DAY:

These sessions aim to introduce group members to the use of fairytale, their archetypal symbols and imagery as a creative resource and potential therapeutic tool. As such as part of the experience there will be a reading of the fairytale and then a presentation given to discuss:


  • Common archetypes and imagery used in fairytales.
  • The psychotherapeutic relevance of the fairytale from several different psychological perspectives.


Following the presented material, the group will spend the remaining time in each of the sessions reflecting on the presented material. Experiencing in action how through the group ‘s discussion, meeting our reactions, our connection to symbols, imagery and association along the way, we might enable each other to better understand this way of formulating and deepening our connection to some of the stories we all live.
