Episode 4057: Richard Paterson explores how repeatedly retelling painful life events can quietly turn them into part of our identity, keeping old wounds alive long after the circumstances have passed. Drawing on the story of a woman still suffering years after her divorce, he explains how awareness and meditation can help us stop feeding old narratives and reclaim our attention.
