Psychologist Amy Payne and Therapeutic Life Story Work practitioner Karen Vance join us from Australia as we get hands-on and try out some Practice Pocket Cards.
These cards are a life story work tool, created by Amy and Karen, which you can use to help plan sessions, start conversations and reflect on life story work. Amy and Karen walk us through the deck of cards and demonstrate individual cards in action – from the “racetrack” activity that helps a child map their journey, to an ecomap exercise built around a plane flight.
See our forthcoming training with Karen, Amy and other expert trainers here.
Hear a new episode of the Creative Life Story Work podcast on the first Thursday of each month.
