- When surprising things happen, it triggers us to critically examine the stories we had and try to fit the experience into the existing story. Very painful when we can’t fit the new experience into the existing story. Have to come up with a new story. Really throws people for a loop. Destabilizing.
- Is it better to go through this destabilizing experience or not? To some extent it depends, I wonder if there are general rules here tho.
- inspired by listening to a friend talk about a sudden breakup in a long-term relationship. Heard a lot of anguish about the story of the relationship and roles therein being false. Seemed like my role was to be a sounding board for ways to revise the story to incorporate this new, painful info.
- The medium is the message
- Only certain types of work get done in a corporate office
