A NEW MODEL FOR NARRATIVE THERAPY

Client Engagement Changes Everything!

Treatment centers can’t control what clients bring into care, but they can radically change how clients engage once they arrive. Story of Self transforms engagement by giving clients ownership of their recovery story, turning participation from compliance into commitment.

Across addiction, trauma, and mental health care, disengagement—not diagnosis—is the primary driver of dropout, poor outcomes, and lost revenue. Story of Self directly addresses this gap. Programs using Story of Self achieve a 94% completion rate and 92% of authorized treatment days attended, dramatically outperforming national averages. When clients stay engaged, they do the work required for real clinical change.

Whether you are strengthening an existing PHP/IOP model or equipping staff with a scalable framework for deeper transformation, Story of Self integrates seamlessly into clinical programming. Higher engagement leads to stronger completion, improved outcomes, and measurable ROI through increased retention and continuity of care. When engagement changes, everything changes—for clients, clinicians, and the organization.

Calling All Leaders

You didn’t choose this work to file forms, chase clients, or create content.
Counselors, therapists, and recovery leaders step into this field because they believe in healing. In transformation. In the sacred potential of the human spirit.

But let’s be honest:

We see you. We are you.

That’s why we created Story of Self—a proven, ready-to-use framework that unlocks transformation through the power of personal narrative. Built by people in recovery for people in recovery, this curriculum helps clients do their own heavy lifting—while you reclaim your role as a guide, not a savior.

Start Your Journey of Transformation

we are all in - Purpose. community. Action.

“The story of self helps clear your mind and brings you back to where the pain started. Instead of letting it consume you, you can break it down, piece by piece, and start making sense of it. It’s not about ignoring the pain but about understanding it, so you can move forward and grow instead of feeling stuck.”

“Looking at my own story has completely changed the way I see my life. It’s helped me understand why I am the way I am, why I react to things the way I do, and how my past has shaped me. Every day, I try to take control of my own story, making choices that move me in the right direction instead of letting my past choose my future.”

“My life feels different now because I no longer see challenges as things that hold me back. Instead, I see them as reminders of who I am and how far I’ve come. Knowing my story has given me a sense of clarity, and for the first time, I feel like I have the power to shape the next chapter.”

“This process got underneath behaviors and into the beliefs that were driving them. That’s where the real change happened. I’ve been in therapy for years, but this helped me connect the dots in a whole new way.”

“Instead of being stuck in my past, I finally saw how it shaped me—and how I could use it. This isn’t just about recovery. It’s about transformation. It gives people a way to reclaim their voice and their power.”

“I wish every treatment center had this. It goes deeper than most curriculum, and it actually sticks. This gave our clients something they could hold onto long after discharge—a framework they can live by.”

Every day, people are stuck in stories of shame, addiction, and broken identity—trapped by the belief that their past defines them. But we believe in something greater: the power to rewrite the story. If you’re tired of watching people stay stuck, if you feel called to guide others toward healing and purpose, then join us. We’re on a mission to change 1 million stories—and we can’t do it alone. Be part of the movement that’s helping people rise, reclaim their voice, and live a story worth telling.
