* The goal of narrative therapy Narrative Therapy is to be a respectful, non-blaming approach to counselling and community work, which centres people as the experts in their own lives.
* In narrative treatment, problems are considered to be outside forces that enter people’s lives and rewrite the basic text of who they are.
* The beauty of externalization is that it creates space for people to be able to explore new and different perspective on the issue.
* Stories are how we relate to one another, and how we create meaning for our lives.
* Micheal White and David Epston (1990) explored the idea of a multi-storied version of life.
* Your narrative therapist/coach will approach your sessions with the belief that you are the expert of your life.
* Your narrative therapist/coach is a non-judgmental collaborator who helps you address the problem, and to co-author a more nurturing story.
* Narrative Therapy guides a person to identify their values.
* There is so much power and liberation from re-writing a disempowering stories.
