The document discusses narrative mediation and the power of narratives. It explores how people's experiences of the world are influenced by the stories and values of their culture. The goal of narrative mediation is to recognize self and empower self and others by (1) creating alternative stories, (2) destroying the dominance of conflict stories, and (3) opening space for discursive shifts in others. It aims to help people recognize their own stories and identify which ones they want to rewrite, recreate, or relive.
