Narrative Therapy
Detailed narrative therapy is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on helping individuals reframe and reinterpret their life stories to promote healing and growth. It involves exploring personal narratives, identifying negative patterns, and collaborating with a therapist to develop new, more positive narratives. This process can empower individuals to view their challenges in a different light, leading to improved mental health and a stronger sense of self.
Narrative therapy encompasses various types, such as externalizing conversations, reauthoring conversations, definitional ceremonies, and letter writing. These approaches help individuals reshape their life stories and create healthier narratives.
