Re-authoring the stories of your life (Tree of Life)

The ‘Tree of life’ is an exercise based on using the idea of tree as a metaphor to tell stories about one’s life. It is a hopeful and inspiring approach to working with children, young people and adults who have experienced hard times.

During the sessions, the therapist(s) will be using Narrative Tree of life for works of re-Storying and discovering one’s survival skills (strength finder).

This exercise seeks to support participants in :-

  1. Identifying core survival skills that had enabled participants to get through difficult times.

  2. Using Narrative therapy with visual arts (eg using symbols, simple drawings etc) to talk about dreams, aspirations, desires, while remaining in a safe space.

  3. Getting connected to one's values, morals, key relationships and life experiences and important milestones.

  4. Finding 'unique outcomes' that invoke hope for the inidvidual for any given situation.

All the sessions will be conducted by a trained therapist, and one registered as a Clinical counsellor from SAC (Singapore Association of Counselling).

Got a question? Write in and let us hear from you!

Every life begins a story,

That gem of possibilities, and potentials at birth,

The stories that made you, 'uniquely you',

Irreplacable,

From the day we are born, till the day we depart from this world, our stories inform us about the world, within and without.

How we tell our stories have a huge impact on each of us,

Join us in this journey of finding beauty in ashes...and much more.
