storytelling in therapy

Storytelling in therapy involves sharing and exploring personal stories to better understand one's experiences, emotions, and patterns. It helps clients make sense of their life events, identify underlying beliefs, and find new perspectives. By narrating their stories, individuals can process unresolved feelings, gain insight, and foster self-awareness. Therapists listen actively, encouraging clients to reframe or re-author their stories in a way that promotes healing and growth. This approach harnesses the power of narrative to facilitate change, empowering clients to craft more positive and meaningful life stories.
