Balanced Self Sanctuary Gathering #5: The Stories We Tell Ourselves

Live #5: The Stories We Tell Ourselves

How Your Inner Dialogue Shapes Your Nervous System

We do not respond only to what happens. We also respond to the meaning we give to what happens.

A delayed message can become rejection. A mistake can become evidence that we are failing. A difficult season can become a story that nothing will ever change. Before long, the nervous system is no longer responding to the original event. It is responding to the interpretation we have created around it.

In this live gathering, we will explore how thoughts, assumptions, expectations, and inner dialogue influence the nervous system. We will learn how to recognize the difference between what happened and the story we told ourselves about what happened, without dismissing our emotions or forcing ourselves into false positivity.
