What do your stories tell you?
"Some double the stake
Some play blind
I just have a high card
I read people and their minds".
There is a story running through our heads throughout our life, and it keeps changing. There is a mental house that we live in, and we keep shifting the walls, to accommodate our perceptions.
The stories that they told, and what I heard
- Malini, who was not particularly close to her family, revealed that she has always had an imaginary family she interacted with. It had 3 men from three different generations.
- The first was a father figure who pampered her.
- The second was a highly supportive guy in her own age group, successful in his profession, who was perhaps a friend, classmate or brother. There was clearly no romantic association with this guy, and his dedication to his partner was exemplary.
- The third was a school-going child who was witty and brilliant, and looked up to her.

8 年You are a challenging writer Reena Saxena. You present complicated concepts in a very clear and thoughtful way, easy for your reader to absorb. Responding, however, is not an easy task. Personal stories, narratives or fantasies are healthy ways in which to help voice our feelings. Many issues can find release and resolution through these stories. As always, talking about or sharing them with a trusted individual or within a supportive group (like story circles) is crucial in maintaining a grounded sense of awareness and to allow for the potential of the stories to move individuals towards their authentic life narrative.
