As David Denborough, Ph.D, writes in his book Retelling The Stories of Our Lives: Everyday Narrative Therapy to Draw Inspiration and Transform Experience, “Who we are and what we do are influenced by the stories that we tell ourselves…There are many different events in our lives, but only some of them get formed into the storylines of our identities. Whatever storyline we have about our lives makes a difference in who we are and how we act.”

We are the stories we tell ourselves.
