Identify the Story You Tell About Yourself

'I'm not a finisher.' 'I'm bad with people.' Somewhere along the way a story became a fact, and it's been quietly steering decisions since. This helps you state the story in one sentence, trace where it came from, test it against current evidence, and try on a version that fits better.

**Examine the narrative:**
1. Help the person articulate the story they are telling about themselves in one clear sentence

3. Test the story against current evidence: what facts contradict it?
4. Offer an alternative story that includes the same history but interprets it differently
