You Are Not Your Old Story

Have you ever told yourself the same story so many times, it started to feel like the only truth? Maybe it goes like this:

“I always mess things up.”

“I’m not creative.”

“No one ever shows up for me, so I don’t ask for help.”

These stories may have roots in real experiences. But often, they’ve become scripts—ones you never meant to audition for, let alone perform for decades.

At The Rewrite Workshops, we believe this:

✨ Just because a story has been true doesn’t mean it has to stay true.

The Problem with Old Narratives

Old narratives are sticky. They latch on to moments of failure, rejection, or survival and repeat them on loop. Over time, they shape how we see ourselves—and what we believe is possible.

They can start early, often handed to us by family, culture, or circumstance. And while they may have helped us cope or stay safe, they’re not always built for growth, freedom, or joy.

What It Means to “Rewrite”

To rewrite your story isn’t about erasing the past. It’s about reclaiming your authorship.

When we guide clients through narrative writing, journaling, or reflection exercises, we ask:

• What chapter are you ready to close?

• Who were you taught to be—and who are you now?

• What story would you write if you believed healing was possible?

The answers often surprise them. And something powerful happens when you write the story you want to live instead of the one you’ve been repeating.

The Rewrite Is Not a Quick Fix

Let’s be real: rewriting isn’t always easy. Sometimes it means confronting pain. Sometimes it means letting go of an identity you’ve clung to for safety.

But it’s also one of the most liberating things you can do.

Because once you see your story clearly, you can choose a different ending. Or a bold new beginning.

A Prompt for You

We’ll leave you with a gentle invitation:

📝 What’s the name of the chapter you’re ready to close? And what’s the title of the one you want to begin?

Write it down. Say it out loud. You might be surprised how powerful it feels. And if you’re ready to go deeper, our doors are open. The Rewrite Workshops is where the next story begins.
