This is not a diagnosis. It is orientation. It simply shows what is most active in you right now.

Gift
Story gives meaning. It helps you learn and integrate. It holds memory, purpose, and the emotional arc of your life.

Shadow
Getting trapped in the narrative. Replaying and rehearsing. Confusing the story about life with life itself.

Practice

Daily for eight minutes
Write the story in three lines. Then write three lines beginning with "Another true thing is... "  Close with "Right now in this moment..."

In the moment for thirty seconds
Ask, is this happening now, or is this an old chapter speaking?

Relational practice this week
Share the feeling underneath the story in one sentence. When that happened, I felt small.
