Storytellers

Posted on 14th April 2008 By Leo Casey No Comments on Storytellers
We are all storytellers and we are the stories we tell

The above is a quotation (in fact it’s the opening line) from a book I’m reading called Identity and Story Creating Self in Narrative by McAdams Josselson and Lieblich (2006) APA Washington.
Why do we tell stories about ourselves?
There are always at least two people involved the storyteller and the listener. I like to think about a self-story as a type of connection between two points in time and place. A bridge between two sets of events the narrative and the present -the moment of telling.
Self-stories are constructed in the telling and they are an important fabric in the perpetual process of self-identity formation.
