An Introduction to Film Therapy Workshop with Jenny Hamilton

About this event

Film therapy, the therapeutic use of movies in psychological therapies, is a growing area of interest to therapists and researchers alike. Film therapy is a highly accessible and relatable method for many diverse client groups. Clients often talk about films and TV shows during therapy sessions as they see elements of their own story reflected on screen. This workshop explores how we can work with this therapeutically.

The workshop presents the MOVIE model of film therapy, a widely applicable, trauma- informed framework for talking about film imagery and themes in individual or group therapy, counsellor education and as self-help. The model draws on mindfulness, experiential and narrative approaches to explore clients relationship with movies.

The workshop will cover:

• An introduction to film therapy
• Therapeutic elements of movie watching
• The MOVIE model of film therapy
• Practice considerations: safety and ethics
