Section Title
This 4-session intensive course provides therapists with a sophisticated framework to move beyond trauma-informed care and explore the purposeful nature of memory. Instead of viewing early recollections as static artifacts of the past, you will learn to treat them as a dynamic map that reveals how your client views themselves, others, and the world today.
​
One thing is for sure: after this course, you will not look at therapy the same way again.
In the therapy room, regardless of your theoretical approach, one thing is certain: you are curious about the roots of your client's behaviors, belief systems, and the patterns that limit their potential for a fulfilling life. In clinical practice, childhood recollections are rarely just "random" memories; they are the living blueprints of a client’s personality, current struggles, and "private logic."
​
Whether these are difficult, traumatic experiences or seemingly "insignificant" daily moments, they reveal far more than meets the eye. Having worked with childhood memories for two decades, I am still discovering new ways to master this skill, and I want to share that journey with you.
​
Through a mix of clinical theory and practical demonstration, we will explore:
​
-
The Art of Selection: Why the mind preserves specific "mundane" memories and how they justify current behaviour.
-
Decoding the Inner Language: How to read the metaphors and themes within a memory to uncover core life goals and manifest tangible change.
-
From Past to Present: Techniques to use these insights to deepen the therapeutic alliance and move past clinical plateaus.
​
Whether you work in Psychodynamic, Imago, CBT, or Narrative modalities—and whether you treat couples or individuals—this course will equip you with a powerful "diagnostic" lens that respects the client’s creative survival while offering a clear pathway for change.
Key Takeaways:
​
-
Master specific inquiry techniques to elicit high-value memories, even from clients who "don't remember much."
-
Identify "Social Interest" and "Private Logic" within the very first sessions of treatment.
-
Convert memories into therapeutic tools that help clients shift their self-narrative in real-time.​​
