With my graduation thesis I want to study and present postmodern ideas and the narrative dialogue approach, its principles, philosophy, and principles of work to all those who, in their daily work, encounter people who, due to various life experiences, have been forced to construct their lives in a way that does not allow them to live satisfying life stories. Through the paradigm of social constructionism, we can see that the various barriers caused by fear, unpleasant and traumatic experiences, social discourses, and metanarratives determine our perceptions of the world and thus determine our construction of the world in which we live. The real world exists for us because we create it through our actions, and it acts on us as we create it, shaping our consciousness according to that world, i.e., it builds us, and we build it. These processes are generated and operate according to the principle of the feedback loop in a continuous autopoietic repetitive creation. Obstacles formed by negative experiences gained in this world influence the channeling of life energy into actions that are possible for us in this world and which in some way offer us a substitute for what we really want. This is why I emphasize developing the ability to liberate and use one's own energies through narrative dialogic practice, which aims to increase the number of possibilities for action by creating new possible versions of one's own life. In my thesis I test my thesis about the important, often decisive influence of environmental factors on how people act. Our personal development and recovery are often interrupted when our wholeness is reduced to a particular dysfunctional sequence of our lives. My work also tests the thesis that a hermeneutic understanding of the epistemology of the other through narrative dialogic practice can help the user in a way that is desired and empowering. It is important that we, as professionals, try to enter the user's world, to co-create with him a safe space of trust, understanding and acceptance, while observing how we observe and how he observes us, and how we observe and how he observes us, etc. The purpose of the described practice and reflection is to understand his epistemological assumptions - his language, his dominant narrative - and to support him in constructing a new, different, more lovable story of his life.
