Podcast listeners will receive 15% off our upcoming live training, Liberating Joy From Loss Through Prescriptive Memory Making and Dyadic Creativity with Dreamscape Developer Nancy Gersham (code revealed at the end of the podcast).
When working with a client’s memory, how do we locate the fleeting, joyful bits so often overshadowed by loss that no new insights can emerge? This playful approach begins with curating novelty from positive felt-sense memories- then co-creating an even more novel "prescriptive" memory from these lived experiences to become where healing can happen.
In this master class, Nancy Gershman will introduce a cinematic technique for arriving at the memory our client needs to move from isolation to re-integration in the world. Case studies will demonstrate how prescriptive memories are compounded in a client’s imagination, with magic realism launching memory reconsolidation capable of updating long-term distressing memories. Live demos will give you an excellent sense of how to listen or prompt for incongruity so you can lead your client to new sources of courage and humor based on personally developed imaginal or photo-based artwork.
Implications for using this method in-person or via telehealth, with adult populations (grief and non-death related loss) and in clinical settings (hospice) will be addressed. This training requires no artistic background and applies to all licensed mental health providers.
