Narrative Reconstruction

Narrative Reconstruction is based on the idea that our memory is not a videotape of objective facts, but a story we constantly tell and edit. This story (personal narrative) profoundly shapes our identity and expectations for the future.

Through systematic methods (such as the "A-R-C" Narrative Reconstruction Method), we can separate objective facts from subjective interpretations, endowing the past with new, more growth-oriented meanings. This process transforms us from "characters" passively accepting fate into "authors" actively writing our lives, rewriting the "victim script" into a "hero's journey."
