Q

Narrative (Family) (12)

A
  1. No objective reality, we attempt to label people to control things, this is a fiction
  2. We live in a story of our own making; we can shift understanding, change the story
  3. Power of language-control our speech, control the future
  4. present/future focus
  5. Focus on ways society oppresses people- look for lessons we are taught, make them conscious
  6. Most stories start thin “I am bad at math”- thicken it with context
  7. Externalize the problem to de-fuse with it: examples given in class- instead of “he’s sneaky”, we say “when does this sneakiness happen?” “it’s us against the sneakiness”
  8. Look for sparkling events: times the family has been able to avoid/overcome the problem- we want to shine these times up and make them seem more important in order to change the narrative
  9. Engage each member in the story
  10. Bring in external influences- not all our fault we turned out this way- understand the big picture of how dysfunctional patterns are created
  11. Ask how each family member spends their time- focus on talents and strengths.
  12. Write a letter after therapy to each family member detailing their strengths, what you believe is possible for them
