The Importance of a Coherent Life Narrative
A life narrative is the story we tell ourselves about ourselves. It acts as a sort of cognitive organizing process that helps us make sense of who we are and where we are going. The less meaning our life has, the more we will suffer. Many skitzophrenic struggle to view life through the coherence of a narrative. In madness and modernism. Lewis sass quotes a skitzphrenic patient who said, i feel as if i've lost the continuity linking the events in my past. Instead of a series events linked by continuity, my past just seems like disconnected fragments.
