Narrative therapy is a type of experiential therapy that works by identifying individuals separately from their lived experiences, and empowering those individuals to use that same approach when dealing with their problems. By removing blame and others’ perceptions, individuals are able to re-author their stories and re-establish their experiences in the here-and-now.
