What is Narrative Therapy?
Narrative Therapy is rooted in the idea that our lives are shaped by the stories we tell about ourselves and the world around us. These stories influence how we see things, how we make decisions, and how we relate to others.
Why Stories Matter
​
"Story" is the lens through which our brain makes sense of the world. As we journey through life, we carry different types of stories:
​
-
Dominant Stories: The stories that guide our lives and inform our decisions.
-
Forgotten Stories: Stories that hold meaning but have been overshadowed or overlooked.
-
Problem Stories: Stories that contribute to challenges or struggles we face.
​
In Narrative Therapy, we work together to uncover the dominant stories shaping your life and explore how they may be contributing to the problems you’re experiencing. We’ll also rediscover forgotten stories that can bring strength, hope, and new possibilities.
​
Signature Ideas in Narrative Therapy
​
One of the core principles of Narrative Therapy is this:
The person is not the problem; the problem is the problem.
This means that problems are externalized—they are seen as separate from who you are. By working together, we can:
​
-
Understand how the problem story has taken shape.
-
Explore its effects on your life and relationships.
-
Develop new, empowering stories that align with your hopes, values, and goals.
