WE ARE HARDWIRED FOR STORIES
EVERYONE HAS A STORY
THERE ARE MANY STORIES IN OUR LIVES
STORYTELLING IS A FORM OF CREATIVITY
“We all have a story to tell. We cannot exist only for ourselves; we exist through and in the other, the other’s story, our story. And so to tell a story we become a character in our own story for in your own story you are the central character, you have agency. Sometimes the central character is hidden, he is the person behind the door, unseen, watching maybe you can make your character walk out of the narrative and another character will walk in, say what you want to say, do what you want to do, or say what you do not want to say, do what you do not want to do. The character of you is the story.” Murray Nossel: Narrative Inc. NYC
“The idea of the writing of your story; the capturing of themes, ideas, memories, for to remember and re-remember is to create a story, we are all creators, of our own present, our own future, to imagine a future is how to survive. Meaning does not pre-exist the interpretation and re-telling of experiences. So imagine a future and recreate a memory, redefine it, re-remember and change its power. “Michael White: Narrative Therapy
