Each assessment requires submission of a detailed narrative to facilitate a thorough discourse analysis. The absolute minimum is 5-6 pages, though it’s not uncommon to see 20 or even 30+ pages. The narrative asks you to recall events in your life both as a child and an adult, requiring reflective writing on your challenges, strengths, struggles, and achievements . Some clients choose to also illustrate their narratives with art, photos, poetry, or creative writing.
