Taking a position of narrative humility means understanding that stories are relationships we can approach and engage with while simultaneously remaining open to their ambiguity and contradiction and while engaging in constant self- evaluation and self-critique about issues such as our own role in the story as listeners, our expectations of the story, our responsibilities to the story, and our ownership of the story. Also, by focusing on narrative rather than cultural humility, we recognize that this is a perspective we take with every story we engage with, and not just when one of “those other people” (whatever that may mean to us) walks into our office. https://creativenonfiction.org/online-reading/narrative-medicine-narrative-humility
