Narrative Therapy

Narrative therapy is a type of treatment in which a person is separated from their problem. It motivates people to rely on their own abilities to solve problems in their lives.

It focuses on the stories (or narratives) that people create as their lives progress, as well as the significance that experiences have as they impact their behavior. The focus of therapy is on these stories and how people make sense of them in terms of values and abilities to deal with current problems. It is non-judgmental and participative. Narrative therapy is less defined and more flexible than other types of treatment. It's used to treat depression, bipolar disorder, anger, divorce/separation issues, and anxiety. Adults, children, and families are the most common clients.
