Hidden deep within our psyches are the hidden places, the places where the stories are kept. These may be stories about who we are, who we want to be, what we need, and how the world works. They could be stories of old wounds and fears shoved into the dark corners of our mind, or golden tales of talents and aspirations left unrealized and pushed away, but these narratives affect everything about our experience of life. How we react and respond to a word or action in the world is often far more dependent on these old stories than we realize. And, this can affect not only our relationships with family and friends, but colleagues, strangers, and our inner dialogue.

With an introduction to the shadow work process of Unstorying, a combination of Jungian psychology, mythology, mindfulness, and inner storytelling, and personal anecdotes of her own journey within, Dr. Miller creates a pathway for readers to embark on this process of self-discovery and self-actualization with a working guide for the journey.

The Greek myth of Narcissus is a timeless story of the perils of succumbing to projection and illusions. In this farcical novella, we continue Narcissus’ story, as he travels through Hades on the greatest adventure there is – the quest for self-awareness.

“Ms. Kavner-Miller has breathed hilarious new life into the ancient myth about how the gods cursed the vain, unfeeling Narcissus to fall in love with his own reflection. And that’s just the starting point … Along the way, we’re treated to laugh-out-loud moments: witty, contemporary dialogue: and some of quirkiest characters ever associated with a story about Greek mythology.” — W.E. Fuller (via Amazon)

Heavily influenced by Joseph Campbell and Carl Jung, it is a Hero’s Journey toward individuation, and of finding the true meaning of love itself.

Storytelling has always played a central role in the formation of cultures and communities. All cultures define themselves and their place in the world through their stories. Similarly, our identities are largely constructed as narratives, and it is with the aid of storytelling that we manage to conceive of ourselves – our selves – as meaningful wholes. Thus, storytelling is not ever absent: it is to be found in literature, social life, in the places we visit and the buildings we live in.

This volume presents storytelling in various appearances: from ancient myths and oral history, to transmedia narratives and digital stories. Different forms of narrative are analysed, as is the use of storytelling as a method for e.g. counselling, education and research. Throughout twenty-five chapters, a compelling overview of recent research on the topic is provided, both stressing the omnipresence of storytelling and exploring what storytelling is and isn’t.
