Description

Looking back at painful experiences from the past may feel counterproductive, particularly when these events seem disconnected from our present situation. But what if examining our past could help us understand the lives we lead today—inviting us to imagine the people we truly want to become?

Rather than avoiding, suppressing, or retreating from past hurt, confronting and engaging with our most difficult stories helps us understand how our experiences have shaped us. In Make Sense of Your Story, trauma therapist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker Adam Young encourages you to compassionately explore your own personal narrative in order to understand how past experiences continue to impact your thinking, feelings, and daily behaviors.

With wisdom and gentleness, Young guides you through exploring key aspects of your life: your family of origin, your sexual history, the story your body holds, your cultural background, your spiritual experiences, and beyond. Through self-exploration free from judgment and filled with kindness, you can begin to experience profound healing, greater self-acceptance, and genuine freedom.

The key to understanding your present life lies in making sense of your past. Only by actively engaging your unique story can you begin rewriting your narrative—one that leads you toward hope, healing, and lasting transformation.
