| Summary: | People are authors of their own life stories. From the first impressions in early childhood, narratives are formed which becomes the dominant discourses of a person's life. Impeded interpretations create paralysing narratives which disempowers a person. Many symptoms, such as depression, indicates this. Depression is a common problem symptom occuring. Through a narrative application of family-of-origin therapy, a client is enabled to create a new, positive narrative which can lead to the dissolving of the symptom. A narrative pastoral approach is described. The therapeutic goal of the pastoral therapist is also to look for religious answers. The client is eventually encouraged to form a new and positive faith narrative. Two case studies exemplify this way of doing pastoral therapy with people experiencing depression.
