testimonies, narrative therapy, art.. whether a song, poem, book, play, movie, show, comic.. it's someone's story probably often we're projecting a possible new story into a fictional character to help us process less directly, to give us time to settle into a new reality, art is a story playground

art is how we test out new stories and see if they track with our experiences and memories ie (gestures to butterfly) will this help me make sense of the world better? is THIS reality? that all starts with our learned ability to be suspicious of our own stories, to critique them, to take feedback
