Abstract
The Narrative Method™ or TNM is a program that uses stories and storytelling to help individuals connect deeply and create more meaningful relationships. TNM gives voice to individuals whose stories have been misunderstood or never heard at all by teaching the steps of A.W.E. – Awareness, Wonder, and Empathy. Drawing on human experiences, TNM teaches communication skills that lead to mutual understanding, increased tolerance and empathy. This research project explored the experiences of (n=44) individuals (i.e. Veterans, those experiencing homelessness, and substance abuse and addiction) who participated in a 12 week group session utilizing TNM.
