Narrative Therapy

Narrative Therapy acknowledges that as we experience life, we create a story about ourselves.  If we have lived through a lot of suffering or are currently suffering, our minds tend to remember all the other times we suffered, and slowly persuade us that our story is about being powerless, stressed, and suffering.

Narrative Therapy retraces our steps in history, keying into places where we were successful and able.  You might be surprised that some of these times of ability and success even include times of suffering.  This work builds towards an empowered identity that can replace the old helpless narrative with one of skills and resources.
