An exploration of the transformative power of storytelling

Therapy is about storytelling. The therapeutic session provides a safe space for clients’ stories to unfold and become transformed. Here, Hugo Kamya draws from his own upbringing in Uganda, where stories were woven into everyday life for teaching, survival, and understanding the natural world. The book bridges traditional storytelling with narrative therapy, illustrating how stories shape personal identity and foster healing. It emphasizes how the stories we tell about ourselves―and those told about us―inform our sense of self, relationships, and belonging. The book explores trauma, resilience, spirituality, and cultural identity, and offers insights into working with diverse populations. It underscores the transformative power of storytelling in therapy, encouraging practitioners to connect with their own narratives and the stories of others as a path to healing.
