First day of our first Tree of Life group is done 💪

It’s been amazing to watch the young people connect with their strengths, abilities and hopes and watching their confidence grow as the session went on and they interacted with each other at The Talking Therapy Place

Looking forward to seeing what the next and final day of this group brings 💫

So pleased to have our first bookings for the Tree of Life groups running in July at The Talking Therapy Place.

I’m genuinely passionate about improving young people’s access to activities that will improve their wellbeing and overall confidence levels. I know these groups will do just that.

Quick exercise: Name 3 things you’d like to improve about yourself.

Ok, now name 3 things that you think you are really good at doing.

Which took you longer to do?

This is an exercise I normally ask university students to do when providing lectures on the topic of Narrative Therapy.

For many of us it is much easier to name negative qualities than positive things we value in ourselves. Very sadly, more and more I am meeting with children who also find talking about themselves in a negative way much easier to do.

This summer I’m on a mission to change this, through The Tree of life groups I will be running at Talking Therapy Place. I want young people to find it easier to notice things they are good at, because the more we connect with the good things in ourselves, the better we feel all-round.

If you are interested in joining me on this mission and feel your child and or their friends could benefit, more information about these groups can be found here: www.talkingtherapyplace.com/tree-of-life-group

As children get older, they can become more exposed to situations (e.g. exams, moving to a new school) that might make them feel worried about their capabilities and encourage them (and us adults) to compare themselves to others.

What sometimes gets lost in the process is children's ability to see and hold on to their unique, special abilities and their achievements, impacting their self-esteem and making it harder to cope with stressful situations.

This summer at The Talking Therapy Place, Dr Emma Micallef-Konewko (Highly Specialist and Warranted Clinical Psychologist) will be running Tree of Life groups to offer young people aged 7-12 a space to enhance their self-confidence and develop vital coping skills.

Love at first sight

September 2010. London. My first day of clinical psychology training. 30 other strangers in the room. All asked to do one simple thing; to draw a tree.

Thanks to the a few hours later, I felt connected in some meaningful way to each and every person in the room. I felt they knew what mattered to me, where I had been, and where I was hoping to go.

A simple but powerful activity that helped us form bonds that sustained us through the rollercoaster of professional training (and beyond). The tree of life is a narrative practice that supports people to tell stories of themselves in ways that make them stronger.

Having run several workshops and groups based on the tree of life in England, I’m excited to be setting up these groups here in Malta.

I’ll be running groups for young people. I’ll also be offering groups for working professionals based within larger organisations.

Two different audiences, but the same goal; to offer people the opportunity to Talk, Connect and Grow - in the same way I did when introduced to this practice almost 12 years ago ❤️
