Authoring Your Own Life
Narrative Therapy is a type of therapy that frames life as a story, and aims to give control, or authorship, back to the person living it. Laozi’s wisdom of, "He who controls the past controls the future,” applies not only to history and political powers, but to an individual. When you look at your own story differently, framing your struggle with seeing how it helped you succeed, or noticing your own growth and intentions make up your personal character, it gives you agency to write your own life as you wish it to be. Give yourself control over your own past by seeing it through kinder eyes!
"He who controls the past controls the future."
~ Laozi
