Neurobiology of hope

Narrative therapy is a form of psychotherapy that views individuals as separate from their problems and focuses on the stories they tell about their lives. Developed by Michael White and David Epston, it emphasizes that problems do not define a person. Instead, people can re-author their narratives by exploring strengths, values, and alternative stories. The therapist collaborates with the client to deconstruct negative narratives and build empowering ones. This approach is particularly effective in addressing issues like trauma, depression, and identity struggles, helping clients see themselves as capable of change and growth.
