People come to the counseling room with their autobiographical stories. All stories are shaped by emotional themes and the process of telling stories help one make sense of one’s emotions. The interplay between emotion and narrative is a dynamic process. An understanding of narrative process can enhance emotion-focused interventions efficiently and effectively. Working on emotional experience using experiencing-based tasks can help re-construct the meaning of narrative. Hence, understanding the narrative expression is the basis for facilitating emotional change and co-constructing a coherent sense of self. This workshop aims at addressing this parallel interacting process between emotional experience and narrative construction, while working towards corrective emotional experience, a reflective narrative meaning, new story outcomes and eventually a new emergence of self.
