    About this ebook

    Guided Narration - Theory and Practice of a Counseling Model in Grief Situations
    by Nicola Ferrari, Franco Tosi
    Grief and aid relations: presenting a new methodology for supporting who is experiencing a loss.
    - It's like a tunnel, it's all black.
    The young mother, mourning her son's suicide, has a look with no horizons. 
    - And, at the bottom, can you see an outlet?
    She answers quickly, sharply, with absolute resolution: 
    - No, I don't see a light at the end of it.
    - A path without an end, how do you call it?
    She lowers her eyes, then looks up, to her left, she searches the word, the real word, the one which cor-responds. Seconds tick, they keep on passing and we remain there, waiting for a noun, an adjective, maybe a verb or even a phrase, a metaphor. 
    - A dead end.
    She says it firmly, almost astonished for having succeeded to find the right term: it's a sort of inner liberation. Now her devastation can be named with clear words, well defined: finally, we can start walking on this path. Together. 
    The Guided Narration is a method to discover, through shared analysis of the written and spoken language, new alternatives for life when, during a mourning, other strategies have proved to be inefficient.

      things that have a force of their own

      and a life of their own

      express themselves in their own way,

      with their own statements

      and bring light with their own magic.

      Premise

      They all put themselves behind a line: it's a disruption on the asphalt, a gap intentionally made with stones, a sign due to who knows what, but anyway, it outlines a border. They stay behind it, side by side, ready to go and cross it as soon as the playmate will start the race - hide and seek, a game more and more rarely seen among children, outdoors.

      It indicates an actual space inside which they need to remain, closely, alike, respectfully and then, just when they pass beyond it, everything becomes new and free.

      Well, in my case, that's what happened, there was a real line, a precise moment which provoked the beginning of what was already there but I still failed to acknowledge and point out: a young father who comes in for an appointment and tells me he has run over his 3 years old son with the car, in their house's garden. The boy was reaching for him from behind the car, full of enthusiasm, running to say goodbye before his daddy left, but he was in a hurry, one hand on the cell phone, the other on the steering-wheel, his wife on the balcony waiting for a wave, the urge to go away so he won't be be late.

      The appointment was not at work but in a hotel room, it was his mistress on the cell phone, she had called early, too early in spite of their agreements. And, while having to mask a conversation, say goodbye to his wife and just get in the car and get out of that situation, the tragedy happens. When we meet, he's out of words, he hasn't got any. He just can't find them.

      −  There aren't any? I ask

      −  I've got millions of them, he says. I'm a sales representative and words is what I do for a living. But one, just one word that could explain what I'm going through right now – that, I can't find.

      Only one would be enough for me, he added after a long moment of silence, one right word.

      From that moment on, exactly from that moment, I thought there had to be a way, I mean an organized and coherent system to make it easier, for the ones living the tragedy of a loss, to figure out the right words. Because, if there really is a way, we can implement together the reprocessing pathways of extraordinary existential importance.

      The Guided Narration is the ultimate consequence, at least for now, of that research born from a missing word, from a love that's missing.

      The autobiography in grief elaboration:

      therapeutic story telling or narrative exercises?

      by Nicola Ferrari

      "Mere autobiographies are laid down: by whom,

      within his Ego, and among those we find Rousseau;

      or affected by overwhelming egotism, artistic and adventurous,

      like the one of Benvenuto Cellini;

      or by innate historians,

      themselves the objects of their own historiography;

      or by women flirting with the posteriority;
