The truth is, many of us are working with clients who are struggling with uncertainty, and we're doing our best to help clients navigate the stories that keep them stuck in fear.
This workshop will help therapists work through these sticky stories with their clients by taking a second look at the imagination, futuring, and authoring people's own stories about their lives.
In times of uncertainty, clients often find themselves stuck in stories that limit their sense of possibility.

Welcome to the Helping Clients Imagine What's Next, With Chris Hoff, Ph.D.

In times of uncertainty, clients often find themselves stuck in stories that limit their sense of possibility.
Narrative therapy has long emphasized how people live through and with stories, yet the question of time and future remains undertheorized. This workshop introduces two vital concepts for contemporary practice: futuring, practices that help people imagine and author futures worth living into, and chronotopes, the time–space patterns that shape how life stories are organized and experienced.
