Narrative Practices for Resilience and Hope
Rewriting Stories of Trauma in Clinical Work
An exploration of the transformative power of storytelling
Therapy is about storytelling. The therapeutic session provides a safe space for clients’ stories to unfold and become transformed. Here, Hugo Kamya draws from his own upbringing in Uganda, where stories were woven into everyday life for teaching, survival, and understanding the natural world.
The book bridges traditional storytelling with narrative therapy, illustrating how stories shape personal identity and foster healing. It emphasizes how the stories we tell about ourselves―and those told about us―inform our sense of self, relationships, and belonging. The book explores trauma, resilience, spirituality, and cultural identity, and offers insights into working with diverse populations. It underscores the transformative power of storytelling in therapy, encouraging practitioners to connect with their own narratives and the stories of others as a path to healing.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
