A shared project helps people work together.
It changes how people see their relationship. They become partners in creating something new.
A shared project makes a relationship active. People work together to create meaning. They decide what parts of a story to keep. They also decide what parts to leave out. This process helps them build a new shared understanding.
Two siblings are arguing about their family history. A therapist suggests they write a book together. The book will be their family's story. The siblings must decide which memories to include. They must also decide how to tell the story. This shared task helps them see each other as partners. They work together instead of fighting.
