therapeutic narrative

Therapeutic narrative is a counseling technique that involves exploring and reshaping the stories people tell about their lives and experiences. By carefully examining these narratives, individuals can gain new perspectives, understand patterns, and identify themes that affect their emotions and behaviors. The goal is to help clients reframe their stories in a more positive or empowering way, facilitating personal growth and healing. This approach recognizes that how we interpret our experiences influences our mental health, and changing the story can lead to improved well-being and a greater sense of control over one’s life.
