Part of the therapist role is to help individuals separate from problems & assist them in connecting with these skills and talents in order to re-author new identities and ways forward. Practitioner’s approach this type of therapy, through curious questioning & collaborative conversations, which are always guided by the interests of those seeking therapy. In this way it is more unstructured then many other forms of therapy.

RETELLING THE STORIES OF OUR LIVES

by DAVID DENBOROUGH
Our lives and their pathways are not fixed in stone; instead they are shaped by story. The ways in which we understand and share the stories of our lives therefore make all the difference. If we tell stories that emphasize only desolation, then we become weaker. If we tell our stories in ways that make us stronger, we can soothe our losses and ease our sorrows. Learning how to re-envision the stories we tell about ourselves can make an enormous difference in the ways we live our lives. Drawing on wisdoms from the field of narrative therapy, this book is designed to help people rewrite and retell the stories of their lives.
