Episode 4057: Richard Paterson explores how repeatedly retelling painful life events can quietly turn them into part of our identity, keeping old wounds alive long after the circumstances have passed. Drawing on the story of a woman still suffering years after her divorce, he explains how awareness and meditation can help us stop feeding old narratives and reclaim our attention. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.thinklessandgrowrich.com/tell-your-story-three-times-and-no-more/ Quotes to ponder: “Tell you story three times and no more.” “We wear our stories like familiar old coats that we wear, ready to offload them on anyone who will listen.” “When people realise that letting go of the story can be as simple as making a conscious decision to do so, it can be very threatening to the ego’s sense of identity.” Learn more about your ad choices.
