Part of an occasional series about phrases that this therapist finds himself repeating, often.
In this episode, I use the analogy of writing, of thinking about ourselves as narratives, to consider how we have some amount of power to change our stories, even after a traumatic event.

In this episode, I quote an episode from the writing of Rufus M. Jones, a Quaker, after the untimely death of his son. Along with the quote, there is the acknowledgement of the way that trauma and tragedy can cause us to draw in, instead of remaining open to God and to others.
