The Tree of Life is a narrative therapy approach that helps people to tell stories about themselves in ways that make them stronger. It uses the metaphor of a tree to support this process in creative ways and has a broad applicability in both therapeutic and professional contexts.
In this episode, Paula is joined by Dr Julie Fraser and Dr Liz Matias, both clinical psychologists, who have written about their use of the Professional Tree of Life to support NHS staff in the ACP-UK book Psychological Staff Support in Healthcare.
They discuss what the approach looks like, as well as the benefits and challenges.
