Humans are time-traveling storytellers. The story you tell yourself becomes your reality. When we relive our trauma stories from the perspective of the original wound, we tend to get stuck in a loop.

In this episode, I am in conversation with Daniel Andrew Boyd from StoryLuck and we cover the healing properties that storytelling can have. 

During this episode, I shared a story of childhood trauma that was causing me to feel unworthy in the present day. I also shared a technique of holding my inner child with healing hands that helped me feel unconditional self-love and aid the recovery of my inner child. 

As a follow-up to the story I shared, Dan shared his technique of retelling a trauma story from a 3rd person's perspective.

01:56 Competitive Story-telling vs Therapeutic Storytelling
