Conversation of Meaning #7 with Sasha Mc Allum Pilkington

In our September Conversation of meaning we are joined by Sasha McAllum Pilkington from Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand.  Sasha is a counsellor at Hospice North Shore in Auckland, New Zealand. She first met David Epston in 1986 when he agreed to be her supervisor while she was working for a mental health service in Auckland. Sasha then undertook training with David and Johnella Bird and has been learning and practising Narrative Therapy ever since. In recent years Sasha has developed a passion for writing stories that illustrate narrative practice (see Pilkington, 2014, 2016, 2017) and is now writing a book with co-authors Arthur Frank and David Epston illustrating Narrative Therapy in palliative care. She joins us to share a “Narrative Approach to Therapeutic Conversations at the End of life”.  We do apologize for the video freezing occasionally.  New Zealand was in Lockdown at the time of the conversation and with so many being online in the country, the internet was a bit 'flooded'.     'Conversations of Meaning' are conversations we have with people who bring meaning to our lives and the work we do at the Institute for Creative Conversation (i4cc).   For more information on the work we do visit www.i4cc.co.za
