Narrative Therapy: All you need to know

Narrative Therapy

Rewriting your story

In the hustle and bustle of today's world, stories about the self either empower or strangle an individual. Narrative Therapy is a revolutionary approach where the individual can disjoin from their problems and redefine their personal stories. At Zivanza Wellness, we have experience in this new form of therapy that takes adults and children down the path to changing life stories. It helps the client heal, develop themselves, and, through self-discovery, come back to being in charge of their lives where they can begin to see a better future for themselves. Narrative therapy will allow you to relook at your life story, make fresh sense of it, and plot a course toward hope and change. Learn how our dedicated team here at Zivanza Wellness empowers you in this journey toward change.

What is Narrative Therapy?

A type of therapy called narrative therapy involves removing the patient from the issue. Rather than viewing themselves as "broken" or "trapped," clients are encouraged to take a closer look at how they tell their life stories. In this approach, there is a strong emphasis on the discovery and challenging of beliefs and self-definitions limiting life, thus enabling the person to re-write his or her personal narratives. This is achieved through the reworking of such stories, taking a healthier and empowered perspective, which constitutes healing and growth for the individual. Narrative Therapy at Zivanza Wellness creates an environment conducive to the uncovering and transformation of such narratives as one grows into a more affirmative and positive outlook on life.

How Narrative Therapy Works

Narrative therapy deconstructs- that is, identifies- the problematic story people live by and examines their effects on the mind. This is where one finds out just how such stories may limit or hold one back in life. The second step is the enabling of personal stories whereby patients are guided to reconstruct their stories by underlining their strengths and resilience to create possibilities for the future. By externalising the problems, clients make this important shift from seeing themselves as the problem to an external problem that they are facing. This engenders one with a sense of empowerment and control. The approach allows for one to take on a more positive and active orientation while telling his or her story. That enables one to rewrite his or her story and further embark on a journey of healing and self-discovery.

The Benefits of Narrative Therapy

There are many benefits derived from Narrative Therapy, starting with the fact that persons who seek to understand their stories defining themselves are granted greater insight into themselves. Such insight also provides them with increased emotional resilience and better mechanisms for navigating issues in life. This is particularly true since, through the reconstruction of one's narrative, they are provided with a better avenue of coping with the challenges that they may come across. Moreover, Narrative Therapy strengthens relationships by allowing better communication and understanding; clients learn to articulate their experiences and emotions more clearly. This is a holistic approach that nourishes growth in the individual and healthier, better relations with others. Such benefits will help in rewriting their stories and building an enriched, positive life through Narrative Therapy.
