Step Out of Your Story: Writing Exercises to Reframe and Transform Your Life
by Kim Schneiderman —
Every day we relate stories about our highs and lows, relationships and jobs, heartaches and joys, but do we ever consider the choices we make about how to tell our story?
Schneiderman shows us that by choosing a version that values life lessons and meaningful personal victories, we can redirect our energy and narrative toward our desires and goals.
The book presents character development workouts and life-affirming, liberating exercises for retelling our stories to find redemptive silver linings and reshape our lives.
As both a therapist and a writer, Schneiderman knows the power of story.
By employing the storytelling techniques she offers, you will learn to view your life as a work in progress and understand big-picture story lines in ways that allow you to easily steer your actions and relationships toward redefined — and realistic — happy endings.
