Change Your Life One Story at a Time
Sometimes, it's the stories we tell ourselves that are holding us back. We may view ourselves negatively and have a hard time forgiving ourselves for our role in our own pain. This can cause us to feel stuck in our healing journey and unable to move forward.
That's where narrative therapy comes in. Narrative therapy empowers you to reshape your narrative, allowing you to see your life through a fresh lens. By focusing on the stories you tell yourself, this therapeutic approach helps you recognize patterns that may be holding you back.
At Apricity Psychology, we are proud to offer this innovative approach to mental health care. If you are struggling to overcome trauma, anxiety, stress, or pain in your own life, give us a call today to find out if narrative therapy in Edmonton can help.

What Is Narrative Therapy?
Narrative therapy is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on the stories people create about their lives. It is rooted in the belief that people are not their problems and allows you to separate yourself from your experiences and reframe challenging experiences. This can give you greater insight into past trauma, your behaviour, and your feelings. We will help you rewrite your story from a more positive and more productive perspective that encourages lasting change.
What Can Narrative Therapy Help With
Narrative therapy is an excellent tool for anyone who is struggling with their mental health. It can help with:
Anxiety and depression
Relationship issues
Trauma and loss
Identity exploration
Self-esteem and confidence building
Life transitions and decision-making

What You Can Expect From Your Sessions
In your narrative therapy sessions, you will engage in meaningful conversations that explore your personal stories. We will use proven narrative therapy techniques to help you identify and deconstruct problematic narratives, paving the way for new perspectives. Then, we will work on reconstructing these stories to align with your values and aspirations. This will help you better understand yourself and develop strategies for positive change.
Take The First Steps
Understanding Narrative Therapy Techniques
With re-authoring, we will encourage you to explore alternative narratives that highlight your strengths and capabilities. We will help you identify moments in your life where you have successfully navigated challenges so you can build a more empowering story.
Externalization
Externalization helps individuals separate themselves from their problems by personifying issues like anxiety or anger. This allows them to view them as external entities.
Re-Authoring
Deconstruction
Deconstruction involves unravelling societal and cultural narratives that may negatively influence your self-perception. By critically examining these narratives, you can redefine them in ways that align more closely with your own values.
During your sessions, we will work with you to separate your identity from your mental health challenges using various techniques. Some of these include:
