Burhan's Journey Into
"Next Chapter Approach" NCA
Innovative Therapy Approach
Mohamed Y. Burhan's creation, the “Next Chapter” approach, represents a groundbreaking fusion of narrative therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and positive psychology. This methodology is not only a testament to his profound understanding of media and writing's power in shaping perceptions but also his commitment to utilizing these dynamics to foster psychological growth and healing.
Foundation of NCA
The “Next Chapter Approach" is built on the premise that everyone’s life can be seen as a story, comprised of individual narratives that dictate emotions, behaviors, and outcomes. By re-authoring these life stories, individuals are empowered to shift their perspectives, overcome psychological barriers, and redefine their futures. This method draws heavily from Mohamed’s background in media and communications, particularly his skill in crafting compelling narratives that engage and influence
