🧠Healing Through Storytelling: Narrative Exposure Therapy at Psychological Therapeutic Solutions
At Psychological Therapeutic Solutions, we know that trauma recovery is not one-size-fits-all. While EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a widely known treatment, it’s not the right fit for everyone. That’s why we’re proud to offer Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET), a powerful, evidence-based alternative now available with our newest clinician, Dr. Danila D’Errico.

đź“– What Is Narrative Exposure Therapy?
Narrative Exposure Therapy is a structured, short-term therapy designed to help individuals process traumatic experiences by constructing a detailed, chronological narrative of their life. It’s especially effective for those who’ve experienced multiple or prolonged traumas, such as abuse, violence, or displacement.
Rather than isolating traumatic memories, NET helps clients integrate them into a coherent life story, reducing emotional distress and fostering resilience.
How NET Works:
- Lifeline Creation: Clients build a symbolic timeline of life events.
- Guided Storytelling: They recount experiences with emotional and sensory detail.
- Cognitive Processing: Traumatic memories are reframed and integrated.
- Resilience Building: Clients discover strengths and coping strategies within their own story.
🌟 Why Choose NET at Psychological Therapeutic Solutions?
If EMDR feels unfamiliar or overwhelming, NET offers a gentle, narrative-based alternative. It’s ideal for individuals who:
- Prefer a structured storytelling approach
- Have experienced complex or repeated trauma
- Struggle with emotional regulation or self-worth
