This week’s episode is episode 100!!! In "Story is a Side Effect," Angie and Elizabeth discuss how story engages the same things that therapy does in order to catalyze growth. Both modes focus on human beings changing. Angie and Elizabeth dive into talking about reframing, pattern interrupting, and timeline therapy, in the contexts of both therapy and narrative. Elizabeth champion story as a human need, while Angie claims that story is merely a side effect.
