The Stories We Tell Ourselves – Externalization and The Table of Life

In this next conversation with Nicole Conner, we talk about the power of externalization. In all of our lives, we are not the problem; the problem is the problem. Externalizing prevents us from forming our identity around a problem story and enables us to deal with it more objectively.

The ‘table of life’ is a powerful metaphor or word picture that sees our lives as a table with many guests. Some are helpful while others are difficult. Some are quiet while others can be noisy at times. I wonder what and who is at your table today and what the stories are that they are telling you. And are you okay with that?
