As a narrative therapist, Ros uses wordplay, poetry, drama, drawing, storytelling, and playwriting as techniques to help unravel inner worlds. People feel less threatened by using these techniques rather than questions and "digging in the psyche."Peoples' stories provide rich material of which they are often unaware.
