Writer’s Block…

by | Feb 1, 2016 | Blog | 0 comments

Ever started a sentence a gazillion times, because no matter how you typed it, it just wouldn’t tell the story you want it to tell? Fragmented identity works this way… We start it… a few tentative words on the page, for one audience, to tell one story… and then our audience, our story, even our language, is whipped out from under us, and we start again. Another day, another identity… will the story come out as planned?

When people come to me, they tend to be familiar with this struggle… the self, the story, they wanted to write isn’t working out somehow. They feel the pain of a frustrated identity… and want help to get a clearer vision of how to get writing their story again.

Life Story offers an analytical technique that clarifies one’s vision of the story that has been written so far… where we have come from… the significance of past events on the now.

This analysis offers a frustrated identity space to take stock, and a return of control over the story to come. We talk through how the client envisions the story ending, and work out together how to make the story ‘join up’ to acheve that end.

We work together, collaborating on your story. I re-centre you as hero of your story, and support you as you, once again, pick up your pen, and cheer you on as you meet those blank pages with less dread, and more joy and hope in the story yet to come.

Third Culture Kids and Character Development

Third Culture Kids and Character Development

The Third Culture Kids I work with often feel their characters to be as fragmented as their stories. Instead of a story arch that sees a character develop over time, our stories can feel broken up, with distinct versions of our main character showing up in their different chapters. We can feel stuck with a plethora of under-developed protagonists, a sense of amorphous character ‘shape’ and unclear about our story’s direction as a result.

Control and Third Culture Kids

"I feel like a control-freak!" OR "It just sort of fell into my lap..." I've heard both from the Third Culture Kids I work with, and from myself too! I've noticed over the years that TCKs can have a complicated relationship with control. Some of us (or some of us some...

Third Culture Kids & Stability

Stability. What does that word invite in you? What do you see in your mind’s eye? It’s a word I’ve had a mixed relationship with all my life. I would crave it, try and find systems or plans that would get me it, and then as soon as I had it in hand, there would rise...
