The new developments found through this live re-authoring conversation move with the persons story to more fully appreciate and widen these new developments and subordinate counter-stories.
Stephen conducts a live externalizing interview with an 11 year old boy Ollie (and his mother) who has been mandated by the courts to seek therapy after a charge of battery. Watch Stephen relationally externalizes 'trouble' and demonstrate relative influence and evaluative questions within the landscapes of action and identity - and plots out troubles potential losses as well as the boys's preferred ethics and reputation.
The therapeutic discussion centres on close up questions/descriptions of anorexias present day tactics that are somehow helping her to 'remember to forget' the present counter-practices as well as her storied history of standing up and resisting anorexia domination and subjugation.

The live Anti-anorexia narrative therapy session demonstrates how to slowly reinvigorate and remember previous anti-anorexic knowledges now somewhat restrained by the problem and presently - hidden from view.
In the live & interactiveVSNT faculty discuss Stephen's Anti-anorexia session as a backdrop to discussing a wide range of narrative questions and positions including the scaffolding and timing of relational questions, historical unique outcomes, character and ethos, counter-storying, and reauthoring imagined future possibilities.
The session concludes with more reviewing and exposing of anorexia's practice tactics - allowing space for the bringing forth of counter-practices and appreciation for previously unnoticed counter-measures.
