Narrative therapy is used to address issues such as:
Saying No Politely
Know the reason for the compulsive habit of saying yes for each request asked and opportunity offered. Resolving the underlying setting will help you to start saying no at the right times.
Stop People Pleasing
Look back into the conditioning that got you into the habit of going out of your way and doing things to keep others happy. The results of compulsive people pleasing act as demotivators for similar behaviour in the present and future.
Tricks To Make Good Habits
The beginning, cause and duration of habits can be traced through narrative therapy; based on which the outcome of the habits is analysed. If required, the habit can be replaced or gotten rid of.
Overcoming Identity Crisis
Past rejections or humiliation make you question your worth. Current confusion and sense of being lost creates a feeling of lack of identity. But revisiting your own story will give you clarity on your past, present and future life.
Reacting vs Responding
Analysing the consequences of past reactions or responses through narrative therapy is a guideline for further reference to make the right response to similar situations in the future. It also helps identify the triggers and the intensity of emotions towards that trigger.
Tackle Bottling Up Of Emotions
Suppressed emotions can be unveiled carefully through narrative therapy which allows a distant perspective of one’s past and present. Evaluating the emotions is also possible with the whole context being recited.
