Abstract Objective: To explore the application effect of narrative therapy theory in the intervention of psychological trauma. Method: A mixed-method approach was used to intervene in two cases of psychological trauma (an enterprise employee and a college student). Firstly, the research progress of psychological trauma and narrative therapy was deeply understood through literature review. Secondly, interviews were conducted to understand the traumatic experiences, causes, and impacts on the individuals. Then, the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale was used for pre-testing, and intervention goals and plans were formulated based on the causes of trauma. Narrative therapy techniques, such as problem externalization and story reconstruction, were employed to alleviate their psychological trauma. Finally, the intervention effect was evaluated through post-testing of the scale, followed by summary and reflection. Results: The levels of depression, anxiety, and stress in both participants decreased significantly after the intervention, indicating a positive therapeutic effect. Conclusion: Narrative therapy can effectively help individuals separate problems from themselves, discover overlooked positive events, and reconstruct their life stories, thereby reducing psychological trauma and enhancing self-identity.
