One of the biggest struggles in practising therapy is being sucked into the pain of all the problems. Narrative therapy sheds new light on this struggle. It teaches us that "problems are problems and people are people." Externalizing problems leads us to see the clients as who they are. We can see them as problems or we can see them as stories. Problems entrench us with pain, while stories allow for possibilities. During the training program, we are encouraged to look at stories from a journalistic point of view, researching the story from different angles. Each story is like a mystery, and our job is to help define the plot and counterplot. The client, then is allowed to choose which is preferred. If stories constitute our lives and are the basis of narrative therapy, then it would be great if we could just tell the story of how narrative ideas in general have affected our life.
