A narrative conversation is a magical thing. Michael White, the founder of narrative therapy is famous for saying, "The person is not the problem, the problem is the problem". And yet so often we are stigmatized and shamed for who we are.  Attempts to solve our problems often end up destroying our sense of identity, our personal power and our agency.  Shame. It's a big topic that has come up in various episodes of this podcast. This podcast's central theme is: how do we remove the obstacles that stand between us and a Good Mood? And really, dismantling shame is one of the main answers.  Shame's slimy, sticky sludge stands in the way of our personal happiness and our growth. When we feel wronged for who we are, when we feel responsible for our problems, we become powerless.  Narrative Therapy aims to question the dominant stories we tell about ourselves and others. What are the dangers of a single story? What happens to our psyches, our souls and our sense of self when we come to believe that the problem stories about our lives are not just stories about problems but stories about who we are?  In this episode, I talk to Mauricio Yabar, a licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Sex Therapist through AASECT (American Association for Sexuality Educators, Counsellors, and Therapists) about narrative therapy and sex.  We talk about the dangers of the single-story of a psychiatric diagnosis, how many population are marginalized into a single narrative about their past, their lives and their futures and how narrative can help "thicken" subordinate stories about kindness, strength, resilience, and courage.  Mauricio is currently working on his doctorate in social work at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia where he is particularly interested in the effects of shame and stigma on youth who have committed a sexual offence.  Mauricio's research involves working directly with these youth and their families, drawing from his background in narrative therapy to repair their damaged identities. Just a word of warning, we do discuss sexual trauma in this episode so, listen at your own discretion and turn the episode off at any point if you feel that it's safer for you to do so.  I have always found Narrative Therapy such a beautiful form of psychotherapy. You'll even see our conversation take a Narrative turn. I truly had a wonderful time speaking with Mauricio. I hope you enjoy listening.  Find Mauricio:  On his website: https://narrativeconversations.com/ On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/narrativeconversations_denver/ Good Mood Foundations: a 6-week lifestyle program for mental health and emotional wellness: taliand.com/good-mood-learn
