Find the freedom of knowing the true and authentic version of you. When you untangle the false beliefs and stories you've been fed, you can build a new foundation of self-acceptance.

Are you secretly convinced that people would be shocked to find out how neurotic you are? Many of us have crafted our identities around a tentpole of shame, embarrassment, fear, and anxiety. What if a simple journaling practice could help you unwind that story, untangle old beliefs, and build a more profound relationship with yourself?

Enter The Narrative Method--a 13-week writing journey of self-discovery fueled by the power of your own imagination. Created by Shari Foos, an artist and activist turned licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, The Narrative Method guides you through a series of thoughtful daily prompts and creative exercises to explore your inner world. This practice is designed to help you access your imagination to express your creativity, upgrade your thinking, stop hating yourself, and discover who you really are.
