How the Stories We Tell Ourselves Can Make or Break Us - Letters From Esther

Показать описание
We tell stories to explain why we are the way that we are. But sometimes, we hold onto those narratives a little too much and become stuck in our past.

While we’re not in control of how life unfolds, we do have agency over how we structure and interpret it. Creating new stories can liberate us from defeating narratives, predetermined thinking, and forgone conclusions. It’s not about letting go of what has lead us to this moment, it’s about writing new chapters for change.

In this workshop we’ll take inventory of the stories that have served our past leading us to this moment and how to make room for new narratives that suit our future. What new stories are you ready to live?

I’ll be discussing this month’s newsletter on Storytelling.

When it comes to our story and healing, write often and edit well. Life has been just a rough draft so far and we are born twice - once to our mothers, and again to ourselves. The unexamined life is not worth living. 🙏☺️☺️☺️

Once I stopped telling my story, I started to heal 🤍
I began listening to what I wasn’t saying and it allowed me to connect to the darkness.
That’s where healing ❤️‍🩹 begins.
No more hiding my true self from myself or others.
Thank you Esther Perrel for your wisdom.
So grateful 🦋
I would tell my 18 year old self to always trust herself and what works for you. No explanation.

“So many of our core stories were once adaptive responses to a terrible life plot.” 😮💡 I honestly think that listening to you & absorbing the wisdom you are imparting has been more beneficial than years of therapy. Thank you for sharing!

We live in stories, not in years. I forget who said that. Our lives are stories, ourselves and others are characters, we tell stories to others about what has happened to us, and about our lives, and whatever has entered our minds, our past becomes stories, and other people tell us stories. We forever tell stories in our own minds, even our dreams are stories.

Good therapy creates the environment and the conversations for narratives that for me were never heard, because of physical or emotional fear. These narratives became the filter through which all things were experienced. I believe in the power of stories and of the need for them to be heard, in order to create the space for new ones. I believe the grief I've felt deserves to be witnessed and heard before I can say goodbye to the stories that no longer serve me. I don't believe it ever ends, but that I come to navigate it with more kindness for myself and those who are part of my World.
Thanks Esther, you've kept me good company along the way and I so appreciate your desire to share.

In moment awareness is so vital. We all are nothing more that habitual creatures. Our tendencies are; to go onto auto pilot for reasons of comfort. It's a lazy, and ultimately costly pattern, which eventually leaves us wondering why we're in situations that we're in. Practicing and perfecting a strong sense of self awareness is the key to just about everything we will subsequently experience. Removing chance from the equation, and subsequently spending all this time, effort and heartache on wondering why and how all this bad stuff 'happened to us'... Unfortunately, by the time we realize all this(if ever), so many bad patterns have already been installed and we need to identify, remove and replace them. Like blockages, they keep us from experiencing all that is possible...

There's so much to UNLEARN!

Thanks for the keen observations! 🥰

I love this human being. Not only she is smart and sensitive, but also she has such vivacity.

Psychodrama is very powerful. As we express our new story, we create new connections in our neurology and change the way we feel about self and others. Thanks for your fresh insight and clarity into this subject.

So simple and so true... the world is in our mind. What I decide to believe (or tell), is reality to us

'Say something to the person who still sees you as 16 even tho your 45', that totally sums up my family attitude towards me and my inability to feel worthy of anything as an adult.

Esther, you are absolutely brilliant, a true gift to the world. Your talks on infidelity likely saved my marriage after my wife had an affair early this year. Thank you.
