The Map of Narrative Practice

The Map of Narrative Practice is a framework used in counseling to help individuals understand and reshape the stories they tell about themselves. It emphasizes recognizing how personal narratives are influenced by social and cultural contexts, often shaping identity and perceptions. By exploring and re-authoring these stories, clients can find new meanings and possibilities, empowering change and growth. Essentially, it’s a way to examine the stories we live by and rewrite them in more positive, empowering ways, promoting a healthier self-understanding and life experience.
