In this episode of A Happy Moment, I chat with master story work coach Dave Robinson to discuss the transformative power of story work in improving well-being. Dave shares his journey from a history teacher and strength and conditioning coach to discovering story work after a life-changing encounter with a spider bite. He explains story work as a process of becoming aware of and analyzing the stories we tell about ourselves and our past experiences, using it to transition from stress states to states of well-being. Dave also touches on the common challenges people face in mental health. The discussion covers the impact of self-talk, identity exploration, and how external words affect us, alongside Dave's own strategies for maintaining mental health, including cold therapy and embracing physical challenges.
