There is also a major downside. Our beliefs often clash with the beliefs of others. If we hold on to our narratives tightly we will experience di...

We experience three different kinds of story loops: Obsession – We are preoccupied with something or someone that we have made very important in our minds. Resistance – We have recurring unpleasant thoughts that m...
