I recently completed the Professional Certificate in Therapeutic Storytelling Through Film (Advanced) at Stanmore School of Business, and I must say it was a great experience. As a psychologist from Mexico, I was looking to expand my knowledge in therapeutic storytelling and its application in film. The course provided a solid foundation in the principles of therapeutic storytelling, and the instructors were enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I appreciated the diversity of the course materials, which included examples from Latin America and other regions. One of the highlights of the course was the opportunity to work on a group project, where we created a short film using therapeutic storytelling techniques. The course helped me gain practical skills in creating therapeutic stories, and I was satisfied with the overall learning experience. My only suggestion would be to include more interactive elements, such as discussions and debates, to enhance the learning experience.
