Description

The Heroic Journey Framework is a Timeless and Universal Model for Building Resilience in Clients
The heroic journey is a resilience model which can be utilized with all ages, settings, and clinical issues (such as trauma, grief, addictions, and transitions). Originally coined by Joseph Campbell, it is a universal and timeless framework which has played out in every culture and spiritual tradition around the world, throughout history.

When weaved with traditional evidence–based therapeutic approaches, such as CBT and Motivational Interviewing, the journey provides a self–reinforcing narrative in which clients may see life challenges and traumas through a new perspective. This webinar covers the essentials of the framework, using concrete examples to demonstrate its application to a variety of settings and clients of all ages.


Objectives

  • Identify the most essential aspects of resilience in clients
  • Describe the elements of the heroic journey framework
  • Employ the heroic journey framework with issues of trauma, addiction, health crisis, grief and loss, chronic illness, and rites of passage
  • Incorporate the heroic journey framework into evidence–based therapeutic approaches such as Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
  • Assess where a client or family is in the healing journey, and how to assist effective movement forward
