"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside of you." -Maya Angelou
Many stories of early life are told as a cursory story telling exercise without much thought given other than it is the way it has always been told. A closer examination of core formative stories often reveals a deeper understanding of how these stories impacted the trajectory of our life and shaped who we are.
Stories of trauma, loss, and shame profoundly impact our capacity to experience emotional resiliency, true healing, and healthy relationships. In this way, 'untold stories' have a way of replicating their experience. True understanding of our stories and their impact requires intentional consideration within a safe space that can hold them with compassion and curiosity. We generally cannot see our own stories clearly without the attuned and honest reflection of others.
This work is vital to growing a deeper capacity for living into our true calling and into the larger story God is writing.
Story coaching is provided in either and individual Story Coach session, or in a designated Story Group. Story Groups are intended to offer a space for participants to begin to explore the complexity of their past amongst compassionate witnesses and typically require a 6 week commitment depending on the size.
If you desire to begin exploring your story either individually or in a group setting, feel free to contact me. You might also consider joining one of the upcoming Story Workshops offered through The Allender Center,
