Windz Centre

The Windz Centre offers innovative and leading edge training in brief, narrative and collaborative therapies.

The Windz Centre is the home of Brief & Narrative Therapy Training and Research. As the home of brief and narrative therapy training, education, research and community outreach, our service philosophy is non-pathologizing and client-centred, focusing on what is strong in people, rather than what is wrong in people. Our Certificate Programs, Workshops and Off Site Training are based on innovative k

nowledge and practice-based research. Our workshops, certificate programs and conferences reflect collaborative, strength oriented ideas and practices that address current service gaps and social issues. The Brief & Narrative therapeutic approach is highly effective in walk-in clinics, single session therapy, brief services, longer-term environments, or any service that aims to provide people the help they need, when they need it.

Multi-Story Listening: What IS Possible in Brief Conversations with People Suffering from the Effects of Trauma
🗓️ June 18, 2026
⏱️ 1PM - 5PM EST
🖥️ Online - Attend from wherever you are!

In all therapy conversations, and especially in single-sessions and brief work, therapists can engage with the narrative therapy concept of multi-story listening. Conversations that can make a difference are possible even in one therapeutic encounter.

We listen for more than one story—the explicit story, usually regarding something that is problematic, and the implicit story that is in the shadows of the problem story. The implicit listening we are doing is focused on hearing in people’s words, the knowledge and skills they have put to use in getting through what they have experienced, and in continuing on. We hear, in people’s expressions of psychological ‘pain’ (distress, despair), hints of what people place value on. We can understand this ‘pain’ as testimony rather than ‘pain’ as evidence of dysfunction. When these stories of identity are resurrected, many of the negative self-descriptions people have been recruited into by a ‘trauma’ experience can be displaced.
