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.”
