Shalom and welcome to the wonderful world of therapy & learning with Nili!
So... What is Narrative Therapy?
Narrative Therapy works incredibly by giving the client true honor, deep respect, and honest curiosity. It is founded on the belief that the problem is separate and distinctly apart from the person. A problem does not define a person. A problem is something that a person is dealing with, not something that a person is. Narrative Therapy utilizes the power of people’s personal stories to discover the life purpose of the narrator. Clients are encouraged through a respectful and cooperative relationship, to address the problems in their lives that exist amidst social, political, and cultural storylines.
There are many benefits of narrative therapy. One of the biggest benefits of engaging in this form of therapy is being able to sift through the past to uncover things that had previously remained hidden. Acting as a facilitator and an investigator, the therapist is able to pose questions that challenge prior conceptions and reveal maladaptive behaviors. This can be a thoroughly revealing process, resulting in an insight that cannot be achieved through other traditional forms of therapy.
Often to be discovered are what begin as thin traces to subordinated stories of intentions, hopes, commitments, values, desires and dreams. With curiosity and exploration these preferred stories and accounts of people’s lives can become thickened and richly described. Moreover the focus is not on ‘experts’ solving problems. It is on people co-discovering through conversations, the hopeful, preferred, and previously unrecognized and hidden possibilities contained within themselves and unseen story-lines. To this end, those interested in narrative practices collaborate with people in ‘re-authoring’ the stories of their lives.
