Stories We Need to Stay Alive

I love this quote by Ben Okri, Nigerian Poet and Novelist.

"A people are as healthy and confident as the stories they tell themselves. Sick storytellers can make nations sick. Without stories we would go mad. Life would lose it’s moorings or orientation….Stories can conquer fear, you know. They can make the heart larger."

Hypnotherapists are just story tellers. We listen to people's stories and then we find out the story they want to live and then tell it back to their unconscious minds. It's wonderful.
