Description
Summary:Gerald Monk works with Jay, a 35-year-old man who is 5 years sober. Although Jay knows he should feel great about this milestone, he continues to be hung up with all the years he lost when he was drinking. He comes to Monk feeling guilt, unworthiness, and undeserving of anything good. Monk works with Jay from a narrative therapy perspective. Narrative therapy is a respectful, collaborative, non-pathologising approach to counselling, which assumes people as the experts in their own lives. It views problems as separate from people and assumes people possess competencies and skills that will assist them to reduce the influence of problems in their lives.
