Neurodivergent individuals often face difficulties in a society structured for neurotypicals, which can lead to feelings of inadequacy. Narrative therapy can assist by focusing on the dominant stories influencing these self-beliefs. It encourages individuals to reinterpret their experiences, moving away from negative narratives that label them as 'broken' or 'too much.' By exploring their life events and the meanings they assign to them, neurodivergent clients can develop healthier self-perceptions, self-advocacy, and an understanding of their unique strengths, ultimately enriching their lives and mental well-being.
