Episode 39: Change your story

Bad things happen. Rather than abide in meaningless and
malevolent universe, people create stories to make sense of what
happened to them. However, these stories can either maintain a
person in a traumatic posture or facilitate healing and
resilience. Victim narratives -- in which the self is the object
of another's action -- keep people stuck in the past. Hero
narratives -- in which the self is the subject of its own action
-- help people move forward.
