Language Creates Reality

Words do more than describe experience—they shape it.

Narrative therapy treats language carefully, knowing that the way a story is told can either imprison or liberate.

Changing language can change possibility.

💭 How do you usually speak about yourself?

The Time Is Now for You to Decide That You Are Enough
https://buff.ly/MV4N6YC

That feeling of “I’m not enough” often comes from how we see ourselves — not from reality. This image says it all. From one angle, we can look thin, lacking, or incomplete. From another, we’re already full, colorful, and whole. (I’m guilty of this too.) ❤️

✨ “Enough” is subjective
✨ It depends on perception — and perception can change
✨ If only we could see the strength and beauty others see

You don’t become enough. You decide it. Every day, you do and are enough.

Identity Is Not a Label

Narrative therapy resists labels that shrink identity.

Instead of asking, “Who am I according to this diagnosis or role?”, it asks, “Who am I becoming in relation to what I value?”

Identity is fluid, relational, and responsive.

💭 What label has shaped how you see yourself?

Stories Live in Context

No story exists in isolation.

Narrative therapy understands that personal stories are shaped by family systems, social expectations, faith narratives, power dynamics, and historical contexts.

This approach resists blame and instead asks:
What did this person have to navigate?
What resources were available—or missing?

Understanding context restores compassion.

💭 What contexts have shaped your story the most?

You Are Not the Problem

One of the most radical ideas in narrative therapy is this:
You are not the problem—the problem is the problem.

Instead of asking, “What’s wrong with me?”, narrative therapy asks, “What has been influencing your life, and how has it gained power?”

When problems are separated from identity, shame loosens its grip. You can look at the problem instead of looking through it.

💭 If your problem had a name, what would you call it?

Stories Are Not the Same as Truth

A story can feel true without being the whole truth.

Narrative therapy recognises that the stories we tell ourselves are shaped by experiences, relationships, culture, faith, trauma, and expectation. Over time, certain stories become dominant—especially those formed in pain.

But dominance does not equal accuracy.

Narrative therapy creates space to gently question these stories:
• Where did this belief come from?
• Who benefited from it?
• What has it overlooked?

Curiosity can loosen even the tightest stories.

💭 Is there a story about yourself that feels heavy but familiar?

You Are a Meaning-Maker

Narrative therapy understands people as meaning-makers.

Events do not define us—the meanings we attach to them do.

When meaning shifts, identity shifts too.
