Narrative Therapy & Story Rewriting Toolkit | ZipHealthy

The stories you tell yourself about your life shape everything — your identity, your choices, your future. Narrative therapy helps you examine those stories, separate the problem from the person, and rewrite narratives that no longer serve you. This clinician-designed toolkit brings those powerful techniques to you.

Designed by Stephen Velasquez, MBA, MSW, LCSW — a licensed clinical social worker with over 16 years of clinical experience — this toolkit draws from Narrative therapy, externalization, re-authoring, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and identity work.

What’s Inside

• Life narrative mapping and timeline exercises
• Externalization worksheets (separating you from the problem)
• Unique outcomes and alternative story identification
• Re-authoring practice templates
• Witnessing and audience-building exercises
• Instant PDF download — start today, print at home or use on any device

What You’ll Explore

How your dominant life stories formed, externalizing problems (the problem is the problem, not you), discovering unique outcomes and hidden strengths, re-authoring limiting narratives, building an audience for your new story, and creating a life narrative that empowers rather than constrains you.

Who This Is For

This toolkit is for anyone who feels trapped by the story they tell about themselves, their past, their identity, or their possibilities.

Whether you use it independently, alongside therapy, or as a gift for someone who could use structured support — this toolkit meets you where you are.
