Narrative Therapy in Lahore

Narrative Therapy is based on the idea that people make sense of their lives through stories, and that unhelpful, problem-saturated narratives can be explored and re-authored to support a more empowering sense of identity, separate from the problem itself.

Dr. Muhammad Shoaib Zafar incorporates Narrative Therapy principles for patients seeking to shift how they relate to and understand their difficulties.

A central technique in Narrative Therapy is separating the problem from the person's identity — for example, discussing "the anxiety" as something a person experiences, rather than "I am an anxious person" — which can reduce shame and open space for change.

Narrative Therapy can be valuable for individuals who feel defined or overwhelmed by their diagnosis or difficulty, offering a respectful, collaborative way to develop a more empowering understanding of their own story.

Dr. Muhammad Shoaib Zafar incorporates Narrative Therapy techniques where helpful, supporting patients in developing an empowering relationship with their own story.
