Narrative Therapy Group: “Hero’s Journey: Foundations of Memoir”
Ideal for: Those who are creative or would like to be; and those interested in increasing insight into their own “story” and inner world. Also helpful: access to WiFi, a quiet hour, and a way to write things down (digitally or on paper). This opportunity is open to existing or new clients: be aware that any new community members will need to complete general client intake paperwork before participating. Ask the office for details.
Cost: This group may be covered by your insurance, check with the office for out of pocket rates or insurance details: info@thepathcenter.org
​
Goals: Building personal insight and awareness, discovering strengths and limitations within a specific narrative, and externalizing those experiences into a narrative that better reflects and serves a current reality. Also a great opportunity to encourage others and experience support in a process-driven peer group setting, along with guidance and prompts from several trained mental health professionals and facilitators.
Objectives: 1. LEARN: Community members will be invited to read several examples of relevant creative non-fiction and memoir to familiarize themselves with the genre. 2. DISCOVER: Identify several key moments in your own life that might be candidates for a “hero journey” style story. 3. PRACTICE: endeavor to create several short-story format pieces reflecting a creative-nonfiction memoir format. 4. SHARE: Community members are encouraged to share some of their written pieces (not required). We do ask that all members participate weekly in some way, whether that is a brief reflection, encouragement to a peer, or other relevant personal sharing etc.
