Download or read book Retelling the Stories of Our Lives Everyday Narrative Therapy to Draw Inspiration and Transform Experience written by David Denborough and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2014-01-06 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Powerful ideas from narrative therapy can teach us how to create new life stories and promote change. Our lives and their pathways are not fixed in stone; instead they are shaped by story. The ways in which we understand and share the stories of our lives therefore make all the difference. If we tell stories that emphasize only desolation, then we become weaker. If we tell our stories in ways that make us stronger, we can soothe our losses and ease our sorrows. Learning how to re-envision the stories we tell about ourselves can make an enormous difference in the ways we live our lives. Drawing on wisdoms from the field of narrative therapy, this book is designed to help people rewrite and retell the stories of their lives. The book invites readers to take a new look at their own stories and to find significance in events often neglected, to find sparkling actions that are often discounted, and to find solutions to problems and predicaments in unexpected places. Readers are introduced to key ideas of narrative practice like the externalizing problems - 'the person is not the problem, the problem is the problem' -and the concept of "re-membering" one's life. Easy-to-understand examples and exercises demonstrate how these ideas have helped many people overcome intense hardship and will help readers make these techniques their own. The book also outlines practical strategies for reclaiming and celebrating one's experience in the face of specific challenges such as trauma, abuse, personal failure, grief, and aging. Filled with relatable examples, useful exercises, and informative illustrations, Retelling the Stories of Our Lives leads readers on a path to reclaim their past and re-envision their future.

Book excerpt: Awareness of the natural progression of life transforms chaos and crisis into opportunities for knowledge and personal growth. With insight and humor, Frank Natale shares his wisdom on the thirteen inevitable rites of passage and how The Circle of Life illuminates our path of spiritual development through four phases: Preparation, Initiation, Integration, and Realization. "Transformation is the essence of being alive," Natale writes. "These passages are the doorways to our power and spiritual evolution. The passages within the Circle of Life are so powerful that knowing what they are and when they will come is not enough to avoid them. The only possibility we have is to accept and extract value from them while consciously experiencing them." A native New Yorker, in 1967 Natale co-founded Phoenix House in New York, which became the largest residential treatment facility for chemical dependency in the United States. After twelve years as clinical director, Natale left to focus on successful, functioning personalities who want to experience new levels of creativity and aliveness. Working throughout the United States, Europe and Australia, Natale's teaching emphasized self-discovery, personal responsibility and choice as paths to conscious living and spiritual growth.
