The Stories we Tell Ourselves May be Outdated!

We all have histories and we may find ourselves inevitably carrying these around with us no matter how far into the future we have moved (hence the popular metaphor of lugging around baggage). Past heartbreak, abuse, and failure can all be re-triggered and have the potential to drag us back to old ways of coping. The good news is, just like working to change a negative reputation, we have the power to create new stories for ourselves to help create the futures we hope for.
