Narrative Therapy is based on the idea that our lives are made up of stories, and the way we tell these stories shapes our reality. At Just Now Therapy, I help you reframe and rewrite your personal narratives in a way that empowers you to overcome challenges and embrace a more positive, fulfilling life.
Narrative Therapy views you as separate from your problems, allowing you to gain a fresh perspective on your challenges. The stories we tell ourselves can often be limiting, especially when they revolve around negative labels like “I’m anxious” or “I’m depressed.” In Narrative Therapy, the goal is to help you see beyond these labels and recognize that you are more than your problems.
In our sessions, we’ll explore the stories you tell about yourself and your life. By examining these narratives, we can identify and challenge the negative or limiting beliefs that may be holding you back. Together, we’ll work to reframe your stories in a way that highlights your strengths, resilience, and potential.
For example, instead of viewing yourself as someone who “suffers from anxiety,” we might work on crafting a narrative where you are someone who is actively managing anxiety and learning new ways to cope. This shift in perspective can have a powerful impact on your self-esteem and overall well-being.
Narrative Therapy is particularly effective for those who feel defined by their problems or who struggle with a negative self-concept. By rewriting your personal narrative, you can begin to see yourself as the expert of your own life—the author of your story. This approach empowers you to focus on your goals and dreams, rather than being weighed down by what you fear or want to avoid.
At Just Now Therapy, Narrative Therapy is offered in an online format, making it accessible and convenient for you to explore and reshape your personal stories from the comfort of your home. This therapeutic approach is ideal for anyone looking to transform their self-narrative and create a more positive and empowering story for their life.
