The narrative techniques described in the book will help people with that process of meaning making. Topics include: What we mean by a traumatic event Coping and support Narrative storytelling - telling your story to a person, therapist or group Writing it down Guided Narrative Techniques - more sophisticated form of writing and/or talking techniques, eg Narrative Exposure Therapy (N.E.T.) Arts and narrative - eg writing, pictures, cartoons, photography.
