This research method employed was semi-experimental with a pretest-posttest and follow-up with a control group design. The statistical population of the study included all women with obesity visiting specialists and clinics for obesity and nutrition in Tabriz in 1402 (Shamsi). In total, 30 participants were selected through convenience sampling and randomly divided into two groups: experimental and control (15 people each). The experimental group received specialized therapy in 8 sessions lasting 1.5 hours each, while the control group did not receive any treatment. Both groups responded the Lilis & et al's weight self-stigma and Goldberg's general health questionnaires before, after, and 3 months after the intervention. Data were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results showed that compared to the control group at the post-test, narrative therapy caused a decrease in weight self-stigma and an increase in psychological health. The effects of narrative therapy on weight self-stigma and psychological well-being remained stable at the follow-up stage. Narrative therapy likely contributes to improving weight self-stigma and psychological well-being in women with obesity.</p> Manuscript profile
