ABSTRACT
This chapter is divided into three sections: psychotherapeutic discourse, narrative in psychotherapy, and self-disclosure. I discuss psychotherapeutic discourse as a means of providing a context for the use of a narrative approach within psychotherapy. However, the employment of narrative methods necessitates the incorporation of self-disclosure on behalf of the therapist, and this has a long and contentious history within the therapy world. In the context of my argument to bring therapist bodily phenomena into the therapy room, this is an important issue to explore.
