I'm a counselling student and your videos have been SO incredibly helpful for clarifying questions about the therapies I am learning about. Great help for studying as well! :) thanks so much for creating this content!
I am doing Narrative therapy at the moment. I really love it. I have a team of mental health workers from the hospital. Narrative therapy is the most successful therapy I have done .It helps your to rewrite your story. Example ,We have a good side of ourselves and a bad side. In my case the bad side of myself is dominate which causes me major issues in how I see myself. Narrative therapy activates the good side of my brain and helps me to see the wonderful side of myself. Narrative therapy is gentle and has taught me to value my true essence of who I am,and that a problem is just a problem, it’s not me. I am so happy I am doing Narrative Therapy. I can feel the shift in my thinking and look forward to my sessions with Chris. He is a kind genuine person. I walk out of my sessions feeling good.I was abit worried at first thinking it’s just going to turn out like the rest of my attempts to do councilling with me just giving up,thinking I’m doomed for life. I feel more grounded now. I really look forward to exploring my life and choosing to see the positive side of myself in different situations I have been in. I’m so lucky to have found this therapy.
I love this modality being described as an investigative reporter, being curious about the narrative, taking into consideration the client's persceptive but not interested in the cause of the problem. The problem is externalized so the narrative can be positively changed. The statement, "The person is not the problem, the problem is the problem" made sense to me after hearing the whole lecture. I was surprise to see it lacked adequate research to assure its effectiveness.
Hi Dr. Grande. I am a counseling student who came across this video. I was really stumped about how to explain narrative therapy to a client before watching this. I really appreciate your videos, thank you!
I’m a graduate student trying to finish strong in my programs!! Incredible resource!! You have taken the most important competencies and made them practical. So grateful Dr. Grande!
I like the way it charaterize the problem, invastigates the influence of the problem to the person, and influence of the person to the problem. thank youuu
I am studying for the national MFT exam, and I sincerely appreciate your videos. I listen to your videos to help me retain the information from my readings and flashcards. Thank you!
I am so grateful for you Dr. Grande. I'm working on my MS in CMHC and I use many of your videos to expand and deepen my understanding. Thank you so much! Your explanations are so helpful and I also want to say I know there are haters online talking crap about you but don't worry about those people they are just jealous.
Good video. I agree with your empirical evidence assessment of Narrative Therapy. I use Narrative therapy in my practice and I do practice-based evidence by doing an Outcome Rating Scale at the beginning of each session. I have plenty of empirical evidence about my practice. "Models do not do therapy, psychotherapists do it." Scott D. Miller 2013 The Evolution of Psychotherapy: An Oxymoron
The perspective of the narrative approach provides very important insights for reconsidering humans as active, autonomous beings.I am in Japan. I hope that the understanding of humans through the narrative approach will advance.
I like the ideal of helping a client to take a problem saturated story and re-storying or creating an alternative narrative, but not in the extreme of complete isolation from the dominate culture. Thanks for helping me to see strict narrative verses adopting some aspects of the therapy.
Thank you for making these videos, they have helped me out throughout my assessments, your way of breaking down different therapeutic methods is really intuitive, whenever I am unsure of a method or I just want to double check that I'm on the right track i check out your videos, I've never been let down, the list of different methods is comprehensive, thanks again! I agree, my opinion is the same, narrative therapy would absolutely benefit from more research and the application of scientific method.
I’m new to offering my own thoughts on practice of therapy, life skills, productivity and motivation skills, etc-so glad to have found your channel! Looking forward to learning and helping folks together!
I really like how narrative therapy looks at external factors that can influence a client, such as socio-cultural and political effects.I also love that it can be easily integrated with other therapies, such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. I think it is helpful to help a client see that the person is not the problem, but the problem is the problem. I could see myself integrating Narrative Therapy with clients. The one thing that I did not like about Narrative Therapy is that there is no diagnosing or use of the DSM-5. I think that this should be changed.
Thank you for this explanation. I would be intrigued to see this therapy in a role-play. I like the idea of building an alternative story to the story the client is telling. I also like how a clients identity is formed by the narrative of their life. Put each of these concepts together and it allows the person space for change should this be desired.
I love they way in which you structure your videos. Additionally, they are very informative. However, I think your viewers (including me) could benefit from you also including a transcript of the video instead of strictly a summary in the about section. This could add to your inclusion of the deaf community (the CC subtitles are not always accurate) as well as allow others tuning in the opportunity to both hear and visually see the information.
Thank you so much for breaking this down. I'm doing on-line classes and reading my material I have a better understanding now. I been getting low scores in my test you helped me a lot.
Narrative therapy seems to be a resourceful method in dealing with children. It focuses on their story and perspective of the situation. It is less complex to apply with children or a population with limited cognitive abilities.
This seems like it could be really useful and it’s really interesting. I learned about this researching mbti and reading about “my type” which is INFP ( not sure about the validity of the Mbti but have found myself enjoying learning about it anyhow even though it feels a bit self indulgent.)
I also would love to see more research on Narrative Therapy on achieving goals and reducing symptoms. I believe that future research would show some positive results, and I think that Narrative Therapy can be helpful for clients of all ages.
Yeah, I would be concerned about narrative therapy encouraging perpetuation of possible counter productive narcissistic or pathological lying tendencies some clients may have. Definitely not all forms of therapies are for everyone.
Definately. Sounds like a therapy for people who have never experienced the abuse of someone who has Narcissistic personality disorder or Psychopaths. Post modern.. No such thing as truth! Exercise in madness.
OK - one of ThE questions: what matters most to the client? the method - or the personality of and how the client and therapist interact? for me, it was both - But, i looked into like 4 therapists or more before i found my almost lifelong therapist - finally. (This also happened in looking for psychopharmacologist. one guy, when i put my hand out to shake his hand, quickly with a sort of oh NO, put both his hands behind his back. didn't pick him! :} Also, -- people who have no education in psych have no idea at all that there are so many approaches and that they can even search for a person they like! what do we do about this? - now, there is nothing out there except that one needs to see a therapist (which is great) / - and make sure 's/he' is a "licensed"! one.
While I may not agree with the philosophy, I do see value in Narrative Therapy. This view of the role of the therapist is interesting as is the creative techniques. I like that it focuses on a person's story or life, the whole picture rather than just the problem at hand. It's useful in that a problem is externalized, allowing an individual to see themselves apart from the problem, especially since there is a positive focus and look toward the future. I can see how this can be particularly useful in working with children and adolescents; they might embrace this outlook or opportunity. I can also see how techniques such as using letters would work with the elderly in modern society as well as those who are visual learners. It would work well as an integration with other modalities.
Hi Dr. Grade - do you know of any peer-reviewed research connecting narrative therapy to disaster-related trauma? Also the intersection of narrative therapy and culture, race, and gender?
I find your description of the narrative therapy process confusing. Not only that, the way in which you have described the process is making it sound more like research using a patient volunteer to investigate the possiblity that trying to manipulate a patient while they are talking about their life story into changing their life story as if that would help the patient. It sounds more like a way for the therapist to help himsefl while getting paid by a perpetrator who wants to cover up his crimes.
Do you think that you can use Narrative therapy with clients that have problems or concerns outside of themselves? Perhaps they are worried about caring for a parent, or how they are going to pay their bills or obtain a certain grade in school. Perhaps they are worried about the health of a friend and this worry is excessive.

Your videos modeling CBT have actually helped me to understand how to "DO" deconstruction as a new narrative therapist. So thank you!
You're welcome!
Your videos have helped me so much during my psychology internship Dr Grande, thank you so much! May Allah bless you and guide you ameen!❤

Hi Dr. Todd Your all videos are so helpful. Thank you so much .
Such a helpful video, clear and precise - thank you!!!
Spot on! My day is filled with blindsided triggers and exhausting over analyzing a futile loop!
Thank you for taking the time to do this, definitely insightful.

Your wardrobe expanded greatly since these early videos. 👕

Interesting modality! Thanks so much for explaining it. :)
I commented on a recent video asking you to explain common modalities before knowing you'd done so; thanks for these!
You are my favorite to learn from.
Thanks. Definitely helped me on my assignment
Excellent info, I hope more are in store!
Truly awesome video... thanks for posting. This will help towards my MFT Master's final paper... PEACE
You're welcome!
I love the idea of role playing to find answeres. Just fantastic and creative!

Where were you trained in NT?

Where can I find documentation of this
Great video. Have you posted one on Bowenian therapy?
Home Run again for Dr G... Wish you would do deep dive investigations.
Grounded theory approach can be used to systematize the data for more research.
isn’t this the same as the IFS approach?

Problem Saturated Dominated Stories.
Therapist tries to build alternative story...
Problem explored never named.
Seeks to build an alternate story. What was it I got book 2 of the Gulag. Am I remembering what is not me ???
Letters..email, written, alternative story.
Narrative therapy sounds fanrastic, but my family would say it's my problem
I see a direct link between Narrative therapy and the works of Neville Goddard
