Co-Creating the Therapeutic Journey: A Values-Informed Approach

This event provides insights into the process of co-creation, an opportunity to engage priorities, share common and divergent meanings and create a ‘roadmap’ for the therapeutic process with those we serve, or for self-healing.

Across two hours, in the first part of the session gather for reflection and guidance and create a sense of order in the process of care and meaning-making, informed by personal values, the present, and future hopes. During the second part, delve into the possibilities for channelling values as primers, in an exchange of ideas and significances, informing the therapeutic dialogue. Through an experiential facilitation of the process, reflect on, travel through and envisage a framework for discovery and healing (please bring a note pad or loose paper, pen/pencil for this part of the workshop).

Learning Objective Participants Can Expect From This Event

• Understanding the essence of the therapeutic process is important for therapists, coaches and clients alike. This session can contribute to strengthening clarity, through writing and co-creating a viable pathway that nourishes personal reflections, priorities and hopes, as well as the therapeutic relationship.
• Formulating a roadmap of intentions, informed by values, can elicit new perspectives and expertise; and, the activity itself can become a valuable source of guidance in our therapeutic encounters with individuals and couples.
• Participate in a facilitated experiential exploration of your values, and utilise this process to identify and shape a pathway relevant to you, revitalising your own self-knowledge and eliciting self-compassion and recognition, in ways that can be adopted in your professional role.

Who is This Workshop Appropriate For?

• Coaches, Therapists (working with individuals and couples), and anyone interested in values-informed work, hoping to engage in personal reflection and collective meaning-making.

How May This Workshop Impact Your Practice?

• Understanding and working with values can provide the vocabulary and the tools to navigate personal priorities, creating a shared understanding that can help strengthen engagement in the therapeutic process, providing a visual/literal/tangible roadmap for self-reflection and a helpful aide-memoire for the time in-between sessions.
