Kindle Notes & Highlights
The Death card is a sign that you need to draw a line through the past in order to move forward. It says: Release what no longer serves you.
As a therapist Lily knows that trauma lives in one’s body and that the body keeps the score even if the mind has no narrative for what occurred. Even if the event is completely compartmentalized in the unconscious.
a person can make a choice to change the narrative, to overwrite the patterns of history. That a person does not have to be defined by the past. Or by genetics. People can change.
Normal is a construct. A story people tell themselves. It’s what everyone does—feigns some concept of normalcy. Stories people tell themselves are the only reality humans know.
People live in the six inches of real estate between their ears—in that three pounds of fat and protein that is the human brain. They live inside their heads. That’s where reality resides. That’s where every single human constructs an individual narrative of their life.
