Rewriting the Self After Loss: Narrative Therapy for Grief and Personality Reconstruction
By Dr Paul Martin
About this Webinar
This webinar explores the application of narrative therapy in grief work, focusing on how clients can reconstruct identity and meaning following significant loss. Presented by Dr. Paul M. Martin, the session will examine how bereavement can disrupt core aspects of self and personal narrative. Drawing on contemporary research in personality psychology, the webinar will also highlight how individual differences—particularly traits such as neuroticism, conscientiousness, and other dimensions of the Big Five—can influence the grieving process. Through clinical illustrations and interactive techniques, participants will learn how to support clients in re-authoring their narratives to foster resilience, growth, and renewed purpose. Attendees will leave with practical tools to help clients navigate identity shifts and engage in adaptive meaning-making in the aftermath of grief.
