Why the DNA-V Framework Changes Everything

Traditional therapeutic approaches often focus narrowly on changing thoughts or managing emotions. The DNA-V framework revolutionizes youth therapy by working with the whole person in context:
- Discoverer: How young people explore and try new things

 

- Noticer: How they observe without judgment

 

- Advisor: How they use past experience and knowledge

 

- Values: What guides their meaningful behaviour

 

- Self-view: How our self view is learned, and how we can change it

 

- Social view: How we learn to use our abilities through learning and attachments with others

 

This process-based approach meets young people where they are developmentally, creating engagement even with reluctant clients.
