The Power of Family Stories

Hidden Brain

INSIGHT

Oscillating Family Narratives

  • Oscillating family narratives, which acknowledge both good and bad experiences, build resilience.
  • Unlike purely positive (ascending) or negative (descending) narratives, they provide coping mechanisms for life's challenges.
  • Ascending narratives leave individuals unprepared for adversity, while descending narratives can lead to rumination.
  • Oscillating narratives emphasize strength and perseverance through life's ups and downs, offering a balanced perspective.
