Curriculum

8 Modules. One New Story.

From identifying the narratives that bind to rebuilding identity rooted in truth — a complete relational integrity framework.

1

The Stories We Carry

Identifying the personal narratives — about self, others, and relationship — that formed through early experience, trauma, and relational injury. How these stories operate invisibly, shaping choices, patterns, and expectations. Assessment tools for naming your own narrative framework.

Module 1
2

Honesty as Foundation

The first principle of Relational Integrity — honesty with self and others as the non-negotiable starting point for narrative change. Clinical and biblical frameworks for self-truth. Why distorted narratives survive through selective honesty, and what full truth-telling demands and produces.

Module 2
3

Accountability Without Shame

Taking ownership of your role in relational patterns without collapsing into self-condemnation. The distinction between shame-based confession and genuine accountability. How accountability restructures the narrative from victimhood or blame into the agency required for change.

Module 3
4

Boundaries as Narrative Builders

How the limits we hold (or fail to hold) become the stories others tell about what we accept — and the stories we tell about ourselves. A clinical framework for boundary-setting as identity expression. Recognizing boundary collapse as a story of self-erasure, and how recovery begins with structural change.

Module 4
5

Forgiveness as Narrative Release

What forgiveness actually does and doesn't do — and why misunderstanding it keeps people bound to the stories of harm. Clinical and theological perspectives on forgiveness as a unilateral act of release, distinct from reconciliation or trust. Practical framework for moving through unforgiveness without minimizing what happened.

Module 5
6

Rebuilding Trust — In Self and Others

Trust as an evidence-based, earned experience — not a leap of faith. The clinical science of trust restoration: what it requires, what its signals are, and how to build it without bypassing the steps that make it durable. Rebuilding trust in oneself after patterns of self-abandonment or self-sabotage.

Module 6
7

Restored Relationship — What It Actually Looks Like

The target of narrative change is not the absence of pain — it is the presence of restored relationship: with self, with others, with God. Distinguishing restored relationship from fragile reunion. What relational integrity looks like when it is actually present, and the markers of genuine change versus performed change.

Module 7
8

Living the New Narrative

Integrating all six principles of Relational Integrity into an ongoing identity — not a destination but a practice. Building structures that protect the new narrative against relapse: accountability frameworks, warning signs, relational practices. Your personal Narrative Change Plan — the forward framework that carries the work of this course into your everyday life.

Module 8
