Therapy is about story and storytelling. The therapeutic session provides a safe space for clients’ stories to unfold and become transformed. In Narrative Practices for Resilience and Hope, the author draws from his own upbringing in Uganda, where stories were woven into everyday life for teaching, survival and understanding the natural world. The book bridges traditional storytelling with narrative therapy, illustrating how stories shape personal identity and foster healing. It emphasises how the stories we tell about ourselves—and those told about us—inform our sense of self, relationships and belonging.
Through client narratives and personal reflections, the book explores themes of trauma, resilience, spirituality and cultural identity, and offers insights into working with diverse populations. It underscores the transformative power of storytelling in therapy, encouraging readers—especially therapists—to connect with their own narratives and the stories of others as a path to healing.
