Who’s Telling the Story

In this episode of the Searching Inward Podcast, George Stull, Scott Reall, Anna Bryant and Seth Abram discuss how we remember our past and how it helps us tell our story. We remember our experiences in story form, and we share how the two selves - the experiencing self and the remembering self - work together, and how they don’t always agree.    “Going back to your old narratives is really important.” -George [09:12]   “When you’re working with the reality of that emotion, then you can begin to change how you’re actually experiencing it.” -Seth [11:49]   “So, that’s me being conscious of what emotion is telling the story and trying to rewrite the narrative in a more positive direction.” -Anna [15:48]   “It doesn’t matter what has happened, where I’ve been, what have I struggled with, God and I can create a new beginning and write a new ending.” -Scott [27:18]   TIMESTAMPS [00:05] Intro [01:13] Remembering self needs attention [05:34] What emotion is telling the story?
