Narrative Therapy is all about the stories we tell ourselves—and how we can rewrite them. It’s a therapeutic approach that helps you view your life through a new lens, focusing on your strengths and values. By reframing your narrative, you can break free from negative patterns and create a more empowering story. Ready to be the author of your own life?

[bill-yuan-writes]

This book proclaims: “The pen is mightier.” Narrative determines your life, for we all live in one narrative or another; this character or that; pushing the plot forward, written by ourselves or someone else. If the narrative is ill-fitted to our character — as personality or novelistic creation — we suffer. White and Epston propose that we rewrite the story we live in and invite the people who care about us to participate in its realization. These two social workers show through their seminal work that the transformative literary prowess we’re so enchanted by in creative literature may be summoned in the therapy room, through the artful translation of life into story. The story we tell ourselves about our own life decides how we envision, interpret, and interact with our lives. It is the story that ails and heals the people in it. Great writing throughout, with the only annoyance being that in the later half the authors spent too much space demonstrating the point using much of the same type of materials — letters. Regrettably, however, these letters can come off as conceived, wanting of more heart. Otherwise, a very enjoyable read! . . . #narrativetherapy #greatreads #bookrecommendations #psychology #familytherapy https://www.instagram.com/p/Cq5bEcvOg__/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Repost from @theartofblackpsychology Community, This is the work and it has to be done in such a way to bring peace, love, and harmony to everyone. Love is the Currency and Frequency I operate in to disrupt this #violence. This is also psychology, politics, religion, and mental wealth building that leads to economic empowerment in my opinion. This is definitely how I be in all of my spaces and it works because I show Love to me while I do this type of work...its draining, and currently I'm doing it at a discounted rate. That has to change and it will because I'm tired of poverty and this model is how I'm doing it. #talktomeandsee #blackhistory365 #yvonnemoniquelivingstonllc Urban Youth Trauma Center Association of Black Psychologists Yvonne Monique Livingston LLC #narrativetherapy #exposuretherapy #storytelling #storyteller #mylife #love #humanity #humanitarian #communityengagementcoordinator #livedexperiencematters #restorativejustice #therapyworks #withtherightone #traumahealing #familyfirst #God #politics #mentalwealth #mentalhealthmatters #trauma #work #community #change #building #currency https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm0YdLKsysW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Zagloba vs. Pluck: robbing Madonna run by Jeff W. In Vistas Saturday afternoon. An amazing game of personalities, egos, bribery, treachery and I think there was a siege in there somewhere.

I love y’all. I believe in y’all. Your stories are complex and worthy of being shared and heard, first and foremost by you. ✨ [Image description: white writing on black background with white and yellow floral edging that says: One day I will teach more people how to tell their stories, stories of harm, stories of healing, stories of surviving it all, stories of laughter and joy. We deserve more beautiful stories, more telling of them, more sitting with them, more loving our own stories fully.

Posted @withregram • @adeclarationofsentiment I’ve been thinking about the power dynamic that exists between therapists and clients (and let’s admit it, therapists are usually the ones in the position of power). How do we operate from our positions of power? We are often placed in an expert position and thus given a legitimacy that clients don’t often give to their own experiences. We are asked for advice and suggestions based on the understanding that we have some knowledge that will define people’s realities and what is right for them. Even on Instagram, when we make posts, often these posts carry power and influence, which comes with responsibility from our end to share power, de-centre ourselves and be respectful and collaborative in our approach. • There are many ways to break down this power dynamic. One way I do this is by letting the people I work with know that I’m not an expert in their lives, and that I’ll actually be consulting them to make sure I’ve got things right. I encourage them to disagree or to give me feedback about what’s working or not because I’m human, and sometimes that means I’ll get things wrong or make mistakes. You’re allowed to tell your therapist when you feel unsafe, upset, overwhelmed or like you aren’t being heard or understood. You’re allowed to disagree with what they say. You’re allowed to correct them if their understanding is different from your experience. • Have you ever wanted to say any of these things to your therapist? What held you back? If you said them, how did the conversation go? • If you’re seeing this post, follow @adeclarationofsentiment for more content on mental health! 💜 • #therapy #therapistsofinstagram #therapist #therapysession #therapyiscool #therapyworks #feelyourfeelings #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthindia #mentalwellness #mentalwellbeing #counselorsofinstagram #psychology #psychologist #narrativetherapy #counselorlife #traumahealing #traumarecovery #ptsdrecovery #cptsdrecovery #bpdrecovery #anxietysupport #anxietyrecovery #panicattack #therapeutic #selfcompassion #empoweryourself #vulnerabilityisstrength https://www.instagram.com/p/CCmktsmDzmcQP3q0tFX6NyMZSFQvwo4Mm9MirQ0/?igshid=cfnnbeenyu66

“We ask ourselves, ‘Am I understanding what it feels like to be this person in this situation, or am I beginning to fill in the gaps in her story with unwarranted assumptions? What more do I need to know in order to step into this person’s shoes?’ If our internal conversation tells us that more information in a specific area would help us to step more fully into a person’s reality, we ask her to tell us more.” Jill Freedman and Gene Combs, 1996, Narative Therapy, p. 45 @Bradyesque #Psychology #NarrativeTherapy (at Bradyesque) https://www.instagram.com/p/COx4Oa_hqYE/?igshid=hwovjr2nkiew

Years ago I would write a dozen words on myself to help reprogram the inaccurate stories I was telling myself. ✍️I even had Mona write half of these words on herself in The Dark Matter of Mona Starr to model this practice. 🌠I’m happy to report that I’m down to only ONE WORD which I’ve been writing on myself daily during my Rest*idency: WORTHY. 💓 It’s amazing how many different “issues” really boil down to self worth, giving me a clear target to focus my energy & attention on. 🎯 If YOU have inaccurate labels for yourself in your head, I ARTNER DARE you to identify the more accurate label & write it on yourself daily and see how long it takes to sink in.🙏 . . . #thedarkmatterofmonastarr #lauraleegulledge #graphicmedicine #restidency #artistrestidency #narrativetherapy #selfworth #selftalk #worthy #worthiness #reprogramyourmind #healing #writeyourstory #changeyourstory https://www.instagram.com/p/CESYPDIFPU8/?igshid=lx975bprf8z0

Cómo plasmar un objeto en una obra personal y expresiva?⁣ ⁣ A veces, no sabemos con qué inspirarnos. Otras veces, debemos trabajar bodegones o fotografía 📷 de objetos y lo único que se nos ocurre es colocarlos en el típico fondo blanco o negro. Esto puede funcionar si lo que quieres es hacer un catálogo 📜, pero si queremos conectarlo a nuestra marca personal para acercarnos íntimamente a nuestra audiencia, hay que escarbar más a fondo, aunque con gentileza.⁣ ⁣ 🍃Narrar con objetos, especialmente si somos productores de #artesanía o de #sustentabilidad y #ecologia puede brindarle una nueva dimensión a nuestra marca.⁣ ⁣ 🌊 Más aún, esta técnica también se utiliza con un enfoque puramente expresivo en la #arteterapia y en la #fotografiaterapeutica . Conectar con otras narrativas alternativas respecto a una historia nos ayuda a intimar más con nosotros mismos, fomentando el #insight o #autoconocimiento . Ser #reflexivo nos ayuda a conseguir la libertad, pues nos liberamos de #creenciaslimitantes⁣ ⁣ ⁣ 💫Quieres saber cómo utilizar los objetos narrativamente con mayor amplitud? Te lo contamos más a fondo en el nuevo artículo de técnicas de #inspiración Naufragia.

#Repost @rachel.hasper • • • • • • I find that most of us complain until we feel better.  Those who complain and complain and complain musn't feel too good.  And understanding that complaining is a symptom of something deeper - a pain, an anger, a hardship or injustice... might make it easier to extend kindness.  When we feel better we do better - we need a lot of both right now. . . . #socialengagementsystem #polyvagaltheory #victimstance #selfsoothing #emotionregulation #narrativetherapy #wounds #debbiedowner #injustice #trauma #compassionpractice #metta #hurtpeoplehurtpeople #feelbetterdobetter #tools #therapy (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA1JKdOAVz2/?igshid=tkctel0f7dm6

there are parts of you i recognize, the part of you that wants to hide- the part of you that feels too broken to pick up the pieces and walk another mile. I have worn those shoes. your story is my story, is herstory too. in every new chapter and plot twist, I cheer you on, reading the best intentions of you- despite the evidence to the contrary. your story is unfolding just as it should. we meet just as Life itself reminds us to wake up to breathe in possibility and breathe out attachment to outcomes, for our stories are inextricably tangled in a beautiful mess. you, the beauty and I the mess. . . . . . . . . #beautiful #mess #femaleempowerment #female #herstory #narrativetherapy #therapist #therapistsofinstagram #counsellingpsychology #healing #journey #recovery #bettertogether #believeinyourself #selflove #relationshipgoals #kelowna #instagram #intentionalliving #womenempowerment #women #womensupportingwomen #womeninbusiness #cheeringyouon #yourstorymatters #tellyourstory (at Kelowna, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Wu7frDp0Z/?igshid=yl4i550iyj4p

A few years ago I hosted an intimate event for people impacted by sexual abuse. Only 45 people, so I wrote 50 different messages so each person got their own special message. Yesterday, while swapping purses, I came across the message I’d ended up with. True for me and I hope its truth blesses you, too. ✨ [image description: black writing on white background with orange floral edging and yellow stamens that says: Even if you never use words to tell your story, your beauty tells a story of survival. Your kindness tell the story of someone who needed kindness. Your sacrifice tells the story of someone who is brave. Keep living and loving, and your story will tell itself!
