Narrative

Narrative therapy is a form of counseling that views people as separate from their problems. This therapeutic approach focuses on the stories or narratives that individuals create and carry throughout their lives. It emphasizes that our narratives shape our perceptions, relationships, and experiences.

In narrative therapy, the therapist helps individuals to identify their values and the skills associated with them, and encourages them to rely on these skills to confront their problems. The goal is to help individuals rewrite problematic narratives into more productive or healthier ones. This non-pathologizing approach respects individuals as the experts in their own lives, and aims to empower them to regain control and make meaningful changes.
