Unbecoming, Not Knowing & Welcoming In The Unexpected | John Burnham | Part 1

Why are the hardest stories to tell the ones we most need to hear?How do we balance the stories that others tell about us vs. the stories we tell about ourselves?When is blame a resource? When is hope a problem?What does it mean to take a "not knowing position?" ...Today, John shares when he first became a storyteller and why it is important to take the risk of sharing your real, not-so-perfect story so that others feel safe to do the same. Abbie and John discuss learning to appreciate the process of "unbecoming" and celebrating (not judging) others for their experiences and growth; using John's PPRR (Problems, Potential, Resources, and Restraints) to understand the many many layers of everything we do. Finally, Abbie and John explore the wonders of Systemic Therapy, welcoming in the unexpected, good questions, and role-playing interactions. ...Stories Lived.
