Narrativní terapie: Jak příběhy mění naše duševní zdraví

When you feel stuck, it’s rarely because something is wrong with you—it’s because the story you’ve been telling yourself has become a trap. narrativní terapie, psychoterapeutický přístup, který pracuje s tím, jak lidé příběhy o sobě a svém životě vytvářejí a udržují. Also known as příběhová léčba, it doesn’t fix broken parts. It helps you rewrite the chapters that no longer serve you. This isn’t about changing your past. It’s about changing how you understand it.

Most of us carry stories we didn’t choose: "Jsem příliš špatný", "Nikdy to nezvládnu", "Nikdo mě nechápe". These aren’t facts—they’re habits of thinking. Narrativní terapie treats these as external narratives, not truths written in stone. You’re not your anxiety. You’re not your depression. You’re the person who’s been living inside a story written by fear, trauma, or pressure from others. The therapist doesn’t fix you. They help you step back and ask: "Who wrote this? And do I still want to live by it?"

This approach connects deeply with how people actually experience pain. You’ll find it in posts about porucha příjmu potravy, where the story "Mám být tenká, jinak nejsem hodná" overrides hunger signals. Or in narcistická porucha osobnosti, where the story "Musím být dokonalý, jinak mě zavrhnou" hides deep shame. Even in trauma, the story "To bylo moje vina" becomes a prison. Narrativní terapie doesn’t erase these stories. It helps you find the spaces between the lines—the moments when you were brave, when you resisted, when you survived. Those moments are your real story, buried under layers of blame and shame.

What makes this different from other therapies? It doesn’t focus on symptoms. It focuses on meaning. You’re not a diagnosis. You’re a person who’s been told, over and over, that your version of reality is wrong. The goal isn’t to "cure" you. It’s to help you reclaim your voice. And that’s why you’ll find this thread running through posts about rodinná terapie, where family stories get rewritten together, or in krizová intervence, where people in shock need to find a new way to tell what happened.

What you’ll find here aren’t abstract theories. These are real stories—how people stopped believing they were broken, how they found strength in their own words, how they moved from silence to self-trust. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, trauma, identity, or just the weight of a story you never asked for, this collection shows you: your life isn’t defined by the narrative you inherited. You can write a new one. And you don’t have to do it alone.
