SHIFTING THE NARRATIVE

The Shifting the Narrative framework, developed by Kath Essing, is a transformative approach designed to empower individuals to reframe their personal stories and advocate for themselves. This structured pathway allows you to rewrite the narratives holding you back, enabling you to embrace your truth and understand the profound impact of personal storytelling. At its core, the Shifting the Narrative framework emphasises the importance of self-discovery and expression through the following steps:

1. SEE: Perspective

2. HEAR: Belief

3. IDENTIFY: Explore Emotions

4. FEEL: Recognise their physical manifestations

5. TALK: Articulate your experiences and needs

This framework is the S.H.I.F.T. we all need to facilitate personal growth and transformative change. By using this framework to explore the power of your narrative, you can uncover hidden strengths, confront limiting beliefs, and ultimately reclaim your voice.
