Course description

Fairy Tale Therapy training is a therapeutic method for individuals and children. This method is enriched with cognitive and experiential approaches.

Everyone is familiar with fairy tales. In fact, everyone has been living in a story since childhood. Children, from a very young age, start to make sense of their experiences through fairy tales, recognizing values like good and bad. All children add one or more characteristics to the characters they create through the stories they build. It is common to witness very young children describing something that isn’t real as if it were. This behavior is driven not by the urge to lie, but by the urge to narrate a story.

1- WHAT IS THE AIM OF FAIRY TALE THERAPY TRAINING?

Children can use stories and fairy tales to express phenomena they cannot directly say or cannot make sense of, by associating, reflecting, or altering them. These behaviors are considered forms of "projection" and interpreting them is a challenging process that only well-trained fairy tale therapists can manage. That is, a fairy tale therapist can:

Approach the child's inner world,

Decode the sequence of clues step by step,

Be proficient in coding the core elements of fairy tales in the light of Jung and Archetypes,

Utilize this data effectively in diagnosing and solving the problem on behalf of the child.

With fairy tale therapy, you can learn the basic points, explore the steps of the therapy, and evaluate the clues presented within a story.

Fairy tale therapy is a safe and effective method frequently preferred by educators, therapists, and families. Integrate your creativity into the process and manage it in a way that the child will enjoy and actively participate.
