Healing, Trust, Story, Storytelling, Storyteller
Summary
When you have a pair of shoes that make a blister we have options to solve a very real problem. Reality moves us to make an adjustment that can range from not ever wearing the shoes again to “just living with it.” No matter what we do, or don’t do, we adjust our lives to these blister making shoes.
All challenges, difficulties, and traumas in our lives force us to accommodate that reality into our life.
Stories can help us adjust painful experiences into seasons of growth. Stories can align our internal dialogue into a healthier reality and sharing our story can help us and others gain power over any difficulty or challenge.
