We’re taking on the hermeneutics of self-creation, which is a fancy way to say how we interpret our self to ourselves. We all have a story that we believe about who we are, and that story impacts the way we present ourselves to others.

In today’s episode, we share some of our own stories and how we have chosen to “re-story” ourselves as we have looked for healing. We also share some of the pathways and tools we’ve used along the way, in hopes that they might be helpful in your own journey. Get ready for a celebration of neuroplasticity, the adaptive structural and functional changes to the brain!

• Re-writing our stories takes a village. Don’t do it alone.
• The way we talk to ourselves impacts how we imagine God speaking to us.
