What Happens When a Story is Heard: The Power of Story Listening
Lani Peterson
What We're Talking About:
Through a process of building self-agency through remembering and telling, Lani has witnessed tellers emerge from isolated places of shame, anger and despair to find courage, peace and empowerment through speaking, being seen, and touching another through their stories.
Lani Peterson, Psychologist, Story Coach, Storyteller
The advice I would give our life storytelling audience is:
You are all wounded tellers in search of a healing listener. You can all be healing listeners to hold the story of a wounded teller, even if it is yourself!
Just for you:
Story Listening is an Act of:
Generosity - showing up with full presence and engagement.
Trust - allowing another to guide you on the story of their journey, which may bring you deeper into your own.
Growth - opening to new thoughts and feelings. O Courage-challenging yourself to be touched and changed by the words of another.
Surrender - accepting others as experts in their own stories; yielding to a reversal in the power/privilege differential. Responsibility, bearing witness to another's story to support, empower, or heal.
Social justice gaining insight, understanding and empathy, being moved to action. Story listening is an act of love.
