Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET): Glasgow and remote
What Is Narrative Exposure Therapy?
The underlying theory of Narrative Exposure Therapy is by discussing trauma in a chronological narrative, you can slowly repair negative associations and responses. In the process of communicating your story to someone else, people can feel more empowered and overcome emotions such as powerlessness, grief, shame, confusion and anger.
By going through your trauma, NET aims to activate and change the fear structures of the brain and reprocess past events. NET can allow you to reconstruct a comprehensive timeline of traumatic events, which can often be scrambled and confusing. This means you can better understand what happened moving forward and can unpack false thoughts and negative beliefs generated by this trauma.
