Stories for Healing the Psyche
|
Since times immemorial stories have been told not for mere entertainment - as we might assume today - but for understanding and mastering life itself.
I'm a hypnotherapist and writer, with an academic background in social anthropology. Learning from ancient storytelling traditions as well as archetypal psychology I came to understand that the stories which live within us (consciously or unconsciously), determine the life we live on the outside. |

What kind of stories do you tell yourself?
☼ Are you the hero or are you a victim? ☼ Are you at the beginning or are you at the end? ☼ Are you living an adventure or feel trapped? |
At any given time, we live in two worlds simultaneously: in the physical world of ordinary reality and in the non-physical world of thoughts, feelings and energies - which we can access through the power of intent and imagination. In our contemporary society, paying attention to the visible, physical world takes predominance, and stories are easily dismissed as mere confabulations.
However, the stories and the imagery which we carry within, act as blueprints to our life unfolding. Therefore, every time we change a story, in a mysterious, yet reliable way, inevitably our reality changes with it.
Working with stories and inner imagery is like changing the programming of a computer. Yet, the human mind is more miraculous and complex than any machine. It does not merely work with simple words and commands, it roots in the deep, archetypal past of its ancestry, grows through multiple layers of symbols, unfolds in myriad forms of feelings and many colors of different sentiments, breaches into ever new realms of knowledge, in order to reach for a destiny which is filled with happiness and ultimate meaning.
