What if the labels we carry like "procrastinator" or "depressed" aren't who we truly are? In this insightful conversation, therapist, writer, and creator Shari Foos explores the power of changing our personal narratives to improve our mental well-being.

Join host JD Kalmenson on Discover U to learn about:

The core ideas behind Narrative Therapy and how it separates a person from their problem.
Shari's unique group experience, The Narrative Method, which uses creative writing to foster deep human connection.
Why "witnessing" someone's story without judgment can be profoundly healing.
How we can unlearn the negative messages from our culture and reconnect with our authentic selves.
This discussion is for anyone interested in the intersection of creativity, connection, and mental health, no diagnosis required.
