Episode Description:
Flip the Script of Your Life: Personal Narratives and Learned Optimism discusses what personal narratives and life scripts are and how they play constantly in our lives to create our realities. If you've experienced trauma and you've tried to change your thoughts constantly without success, it isn't your fault.
However, it is possible to flip the script of your life by using a backdoor approach through kinder self-talk and learned optimism, which can help you change your personal narratives and scripts through a gentler, subtler, and more sustainable approach to healing than ways that may not have worked in the past. We discuss strategies that will work for people with trauma.
