Abstract: ABSTRACT Stories, have played a vital role, in identity development, and understanding of ourselves. Meaning making, is a byproduct of story-telling, — the stories we tell ourselves have a positive impact on our wellbeing, and is associated with creating a positive sense of self, and a coherent understanding of our personal identity. Life story narratives, are an autobiographical account of an individual's life experiences, based on important life events and past experiences. The storied construction of identity, has important implications in capturing human experiences, and constructing meaning out of them. Nan-ativizing our experiences, have the potential to recreate meaning and purpose in our lives. Core constructs such as agency, communion, coherence, redemption, and contamination sequences, found in the narratives are essential elements for identity reconstruction. Thus, in this model, we have introduced the concept of life story narratives as an intervention tool in enhancing and reconstructing disturbance in identity functioning, which is a core symptom in most personality pathology.
