Contemporary Techniques for Bringing Stories into Your Sessions
by Travis Heath

Webinar Series: Deepening Your Clinical Skills

Traditional therapy typically relies on a one-size-fits-all orientation, comprised of formulaic, unimaginative protocols. In contrast, this dynamic webinar featuring Dr. Travis Heath delves into the transformative principles and practices of Narrative Therapy—showing you how to go beyond cut-and-dried techniques with clients so they can move towards meaningful change.

Narrative Therapy encourages the clinical artistry, flexibility, cultural adaptivity, and spirit of adventure often lacking in traditional therapy models. Positioning the clinician as a collaborative co-creator rather than the expert, Heath will teach you how to elevate the client’s own language, cultural context, values, and histories to help them finally embrace their preferred rather than imposed identities.

In his work with three real clients, you will see Heath craft spontaneous, liberating, and compassionate questions. You will learn how to become comfortable at the often-uncomfortable intersection of therapy, culture, and race while avoiding what he calls the ‘google-ization’ of therapy.

Heath work with three clients, all of whom have been impacted by racism. While they have each found unique ways of standing up to oppression through narratives of strength and resilience, Heath leans into and then builds upon those counter-stories with them. You will sit right beside him as he brings his re-imagined approach to Narrative Therapy alive by elevating relationships over techniques, healing stories over symptoms, and collaboration over hierarchy. Whether you are a beginning or veteran Narrative practitioner, or not familiar at all with Narrative Therapy, you will come away with fresh ideas and tools that you can seamlessly integrate into your own practice.

Travis Heath, PhD, is a licensed psychologist and has been in community practice for nearly two decades. His scholarship has included looking at shifting from a multicultural approach to counseling to one of cultural democracy that invites people to heal in mediums that are culturally near. Other writings have focused on the use of rap music in narrative therapy, working with persons entangled in the criminal injustice system in ways that maintain their dignity, narrative practice stories as pedagogy, and a co-created questioning practice called reunion questions. He is co-author, with David Epston and Tom Carlson, of the first book on Contemporary Narrative Therapy released in June 2022 entitled, “Reimagining Narrative Therapy Through Practice Stories and Autoethnography.” He has presented his work in 10 countries to date.
