Is Your Story Making You Sick? Mark Farris Pirtle

Heal your story, heal your life, heal your world.




Life can be hard. We all experience challenges, misfortune, heartache, and failures. And sometimes everything piles up, until we're overwhelmed and find it hard to move forward. When we're stuck, mired in uncomfortable circumstances, feeling powerless, retelling the negative story about our lives and who we are just makes things worse. We know the negativity isn't serving us, but trying to put a more positive spin on our story just doesn't feel right or true.




In his book Is Your Story Making You Sick? Dr. Mark Pirtle will help you discover a way to rewrite an authentic, positive, and true self-story, one that will get you unstuck. You'll learn the tools to enact affirmative change and growth through practicing mindful attunement, a process that helps you make sense of-and rewrite-your life story. Mindful attunement synthesizes the disciplines of neuroscience, living systems theory, mindfulness meditation, positive psychology, and narrative medicine into a single framework. Armed with these understandings and practices, you'll face your life challenges with the strength of a warrior and the creativity of an artist. Your attunement will not only benefit you, but all your relations and the planet as well.




Through a combination of step-by-step instruction, big-picture context, personal anecdote, and cutting-edge information from some of the brightest minds working in the fields of psychology, human development, and systems science, Is Your Story Making You Sick? offers a safe, stable, and supportive transition from the life you're living now to the one you want to create.
