Narrative Therapy in Denver & Greenwood Village
Discover a new perspective on healing.
Change your story with Narrative Therapy
Are you feeling stuck in a negative story about yourself? Do you find yourself repeating unhelpful patterns in your relationships or career? Narrative Therapy, also known as Narrative Practice, may be the key to unlocking your potential and creating a more fulfilling life.
At My Denver Therapy, we believe that everyone has the capacity for change and growth. Our experienced therapists utilize narrative therapy techniques in our Greenwood Village office to help you reframe your life story, challenge limiting beliefs, and develop new, empowering narratives.
What is Narrative Therapy?
Narrative therapy is a therapeutic approach that focuses on understanding and reauthoring the stories we tell ourselves about our lives. By examining the dominant narratives that shape our experiences, we can identify alternative perspectives and create more positive and hopeful stories.
How Narrative Therapy can help you
Narrative therapy can be effective for a wide range of issues, including:
- Depression and anxiety: By challenging negative self-talk and focusing on strengths and resilience.
- Trauma: By exploring the impact of traumatic experiences and developing new ways of understanding and coping.
- Relationship difficulties: By improving communication, resolving conflict, and building stronger connections.
- Addiction and substance abuse: By addressing underlying emotional and psychological issues and developing healthier coping mechanisms.
- Grief and loss: By processing grief in a healthy way and finding meaning in loss.
The Narrative Therapy process
A narrative therapy session typically involves the following steps:
- Problem externalization Identifying and separating the problem from the person.
- Unique outcomes identification Exploring times when the problem was less influential or absent.
- Thicker descriptions Gathering detailed information about the person’s strengths, values, and positive experiences.
- Re-authoring Developing new stories that emphasize hope, possibility, and agency.
Other Specialties
Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go of everything that isn’t you – all of the expectations, all of the beliefs – and becoming who you are.
