The clinical side of The Living Story Company: the practice, the framework, and training for providers.
“The whole thing is we’re starting to identify the issues that are making us separate from ourself and what separated us from our self. Getting on that wrong path creates anxiety, depression, substance abuse or whatever. And so this model is trying to get you back to that self.”Lance Nabers, LPC
The clinical side of the company.
Living Story Group is where the approach behind every product comes from, and where providers learn to use it.
Twenty-five years of counselling.
Lance Nabers, LPC, sees clients by secure video and trains therapists. Every product is tested in his practice first.
THE FRAMEWORKThe model under every product.
The Awareness Continuum Framework: nine phases on a person’s path, in four groups, from “Who are you and why are you here” to “How to stay connected to the Self and others”.
TRAININGFor providers of every kind.
Education and consultation for therapists, coaches and wellness providers who want the approach as well as the tools.
Care grounded in human experience.
Lance Nabers is a licensed professional counselor with twenty-five years in the room and more than twenty-five thousand people seen. He runs a telehealth practice, trains therapists, and walks every tool on these pages himself before it ships.
The curriculum in the worlds is the one he has run in rooms for years. The framework came first; the software was built to be held to it.
The client’s path: nine phases, in four.
“The whole thing is we’re starting to identify the issues that are making us separate from ourself and what separated us from our self. Getting on that wrong path creates anxiety, depression, substance abuse or whatever. And so this model is trying to get you back to that self.”— Lance Nabers. His title for the whole arc: The Real You.
Each phase has two names, both his: what a therapist says, and what a person reads on their phone. Under each group, one thing rises.
A phase is where someone is: a place on the path, open from the first day. The client and the therapist set it together, and when their two marks differ, both are kept with their dates.
Explainable by construction.
“XAI Therapy is a therapist-led clinical model that uses explainable artificial intelligence to illuminate between-session behavior, strengthen therapeutic insight, and improve outcomes — without replacing human judgment.”— his definition, from the board.
You can see how it works.
The mechanisms, the data flows, and the role AI played in building it are disclosed to clinician and client alike.
The data means something clinically.
A belief rating that fell from 70 to 30 across an exercise is legible to any trained clinician in seconds.
Every insight has evidence.
An insight traces to the client’s own entries and to a named clinical framework, and a human decides.
The Rememberer: explainable-by-construction AI and the between-session memory problem in psychotherapy.
A framework paper with three proposed studies. It makes no outcome claims; it proposes the studies that would earn them.
Education and consultation.
For therapists, group practices and organisations that want the approach as well as the tools.
Thirty-five days up the tower.
A therapist’s own course inside the Lighthouse: one week learning the workspace, three weeks at the windows of the three worlds, one week in the lamp room.
The co-sign queue.
Notes that wait on a supervisor sit in one list until the name on the licence signs them.
Group work in the room.
Each group keeps a roster and its purpose in one line; a group session is your video room with your group in it.
The approach, for your practice.

What a subscription to the clinical side includes, by level.
The Lighthouse workspace. A referral system, where a practice may receive referrals from people using the worlds on their own. The newsletter. At some levels, 24-hour tech support, other apps, and personalised building.
The workspace built to this method.
The hour becomes the note, every sentence stands on a line of the hour, the record stays in your building, and the worlds carry the work home. Owned by Living Story Group; built by Wayward Robots.
One seat for the therapist. One world for the person.
$49.99
a month · the therapist. The whole workspace, installed on your own computer. A full refund in the first thirty days.
$19.99
a month · the person. Bought by the person, for the person. It pairs with a therapist's Lighthouse if they run one, and it works just as well on its own.
Three paired clients and the seat is half price. Five, and it is free.
A client who pairs their world with your Lighthouse pays down your seat.
