Why do we keep retelling the same story?

Posted on December 9, 2011 at 8:10 PM

I find that the adult keeps repeating the story in an attempt to keep it alive- perhaps it is that they feel that a death occured.. or little deaths upon their precious souls. They keep repeating the story with each failed relationship, loss of friends or family. They use the story as their lens and it clouds and confuses all they see and experience. They often filter out their own joy in an attempt to protect themselves from that which might harm or hurt them. They filter out their delight, awe and wonder, often trading it in for accomplishment, control, fantasy, desire. They protect themselves with over thinking, logic, cautious planning and the lure of security.

 

What they really need is to tell the story to someone who will listen. They themselves need to listen to their own heart. They need their loss to be acknowledged, grieved, honored and finally surrendered.
