Helping clients achieve a coherent and meaningful sense of self is one of the most important tasks in counselling and therapy. For many clients, this process can be encouraged by giving them a top-level view of their journey through life, via a tour of important events and memories. The Timeline Technique is one approach to facilitating this.
This course provides step by step guidance onto how navigate the four phases of the Timeline Technique; Preparation, Implementation, Reflection and Revisiting. In each phase, practical advice is given (including prompts to offer clients and alternative delivery ideas). We also explore the therapeutic underpinnings of the approach (which includes psychodynamic and narrative therapy perspectives), who the technique is most suitable for, and how to deal with difficult issues such as working with trauma in timeline settings.
As well as the course lessons, there are also a variety of bonus downloadable resources such as worksheets and notes which will help you when you start using the technique in your own practice. There is also a optional test if you wish to receive a confirmation of your learning.
By the end of this 5* rated course, you will be confident in using the Timeline Technique with your own clients.
Invest in yourself and your practice with permanent access to high quality video lessons, not to mention worksheets, clients prompts and more. Add the timeline technique to your toolkit (and resume / directory profiles) while paying less than a single additional client session fee will bring in.
