Episode notes
We Become Nose Blind To Our Story
- We become 'nose blind' to our own story and need another witness to see what we've normalized.
- A second person can point out patterns we intuitively sense but cannot clearly perceive ourselves.
Prioritize Attunement And Kindness
- Prioritize attunement to the storyteller over clever interventions or technical skill.
- Use kindness and character first, because nonverbal cues matter more than words.
Right-Brain Signals Carry More Weight
- The storyteller reads your right brain (tone, face) more than your left (words).
- Nonverbal signals are involuntary and thus carry truth beyond what words claim.
