Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about their family and themselves and helps reframe those stories in more helpful ways.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and try different techniques to see what fits. Sessions typically combine conversation with targeted exercises so you can practice new ways of relating and coping between meetings.
