Narrative Therapy

We all have a dominant storyline: the story we tell ourselves about ourselves to help make sense of our past, present, and future experiences. Oftentimes this dominant storyline is one that paints the lead character, ourselves, in an undesirable way. We end up forming the belief that we are our problems. In therapy, clients are invited to rewrite their narratives by exploring multiple storylines. Clients are also invited to see their struggles as separate from themselves because clients are not the problem, the problem is the problem.
