Narrative Therapy

Introduction to Narrative Therapy

Narrative Therapy is a collaborative and empowering approach that focuses on the stories we tell about our lives and identities. Developed by Michael White and David Epston, this therapeutic model views problems as separate from individuals, emphasizing the power of storytelling to shape our perceptions and experiences. Narrative Therapy invites clients to explore and deconstruct dominant narratives, challenge oppressive cultural norms, and rewrite their personal stories in ways that reflect their values, strengths, and aspirations.

How Narrative Therapy Works

In Narrative Therapy, clients are encouraged to externalize their problems, viewing them as separate entities rather than intrinsic aspects of themselves. Therapists collaborate with clients to identify and explore the influence of dominant narratives, societal expectations, and cultural discourses on their lives. Through reflective questioning, storytelling, and reauthoring techniques, clients gain new insights into their experiences, reclaim agency over their narratives, and discover alternative ways of understanding and responding to their challenges.
