Your story matters. That sounds nice and all, but what does that even mean? Is that just counselor speak? Why is it essential that we get to know our own story? “I mean, I lived it; shouldn’t I already know my story?”

“Why do I have to talk about my childhood? I had a good family. Why do those old things matter? “

“I didn’t have any “major” trauma, so why is that valuable?”

“How does talking about my story even help?”

These are just a few of the questions we hear when we discuss story work in coaching. In this episode, we do our best to explain the why and what of story work and give you a small taste of why we think it is so important.
