Narrative and meaning‑making thinking refers to the mind’s ability to organize experiences into coherent stories that provide identity, purpose, and direction. Narrative thinking shapes events into understandable sequences, while meaning‑making interprets those events in relation to one’s values, goals, and sense of self. Together, they form a core cognitive system that helps individuals understand their past, navigate the present, and choose future actions with clarity and intention.
