Clinical Psychologist and Storyteller, Steve Killick, draws upon ideas from attachment theory, emotional intelligence and positive psychology. The workshop will guide participants to gain confidence in telling stories and create a safe space to explore and reflect on feelings. Steve will explore the process of telling stories and how they can be powerful in engaging children and young people of all ages to develop trust and imagination. Stories, particularly traditional stories, offer multiple levels of meaning to be explored through metaphor and individual and cultural values. Storytelling is seen as an interactive process that allows for shared reflection and learning. This workshop is ideal for those new to storytelling or looking to improve their confidence. It offers the opportunity to think about how stories are able to communicate on multiple levels of meaning and are particularly rich for exploring emotions – not all stories have happy endings and stories help us to understand difficult emotions such as loss, fear and anger by creating a safe environment through the interpersonal relationship and narrative structure.
