presents One-on-one
Training in Storytelling Therapy (continued
from here) – The training would concern ways stories and
storytelling could be used 1) for Therapeutic purposes (overcoming
trauma, etc), and/or 2) for Life Coaching and Personality
Development (becoming increasingly aware of – and being able to modify –
one's personality, behavior, and identity).
In either case, this would involve
exploration of and connection with self, others, and the universe, ideally
leading to inner transformations, and to the fulfilling of one’s potential
(self-actualisation) in various areas of one’s life. This
training would teach ways that working with Epics, Fairytales, and other
traditional stories could help one to recognise the power of archetypal elements
outside and inside oneself, and put one’s personal experiences into a larger
perspective. Understanding the
functioning of archetypal characters and situations within oneself is a way
of synchronising the beating of one’s own heart with the rhythm of the cosmos. (June Singer.
