Dr. Heidi Kling | Understanding Narrative Therapy: Foundations and Principles

Dr. Heidi Kling28 Aug, 2024Health

Narrative therapy is grounded in the belief that our identities are shaped by the stories we tell about ourselves. These stories, often influenced by societal norms and cultural expectations, can either empower or constrain us. Through collaborative dialogue between therapist and client, narrative therapy seeks to externalize issues, separating them from the individual's sense of self. By objectifying problems, clients gain agency in rewriting their narratives, thereby reclaiming authorship over their lives. Dr. Heidi Kling
