Re-Authoring Practice: A Narrative Approach to Individual Counseling
We depend on our stories to tell us about how things are unfolding in our lives. Though we cannot see into the future, our stories help us make determinations about how we might live and shape our actions in the midst of our living. We draw conclusions about the status of our relationships, make predictions about the future, and build our identities on how our stories are told. In the telling of our stories, our stories tell us
Narrative Therapy focuses on the overshadowed stories of our lives that speak to new or alternative possibilities about life and living. But these stories are often overlooked due to their nature of existing in the margins of life. They are often not extraordinary or remarkable and therefore don’t register as “news worthy” leaving them hidden from view and easily overlooked.
Our unique approach to counseling focuses on bringing these stories forward through gentle and respectful inquiries that honor the suffering our clients are endure. As these stories are brought forth and woven together they begin to offer alternative views about life and living and make suggestions about how to move forward in the face of serious problems.
