The Work

I am taking an interesting course that is an introduction to "The Work" by Byron Katie. I put a link to the website here and feel the need to explain. I find "The Work" interesting. I take issue with some of it, but I appreciate it as a tool to becoming more objective and, to use Bowen theory, to increase functional differentiation of self. On Katie's website, she posts the following question: "Who would you be without your story?" As someone who has spent years and years listening to people's stories, I have a deep appreciation for this question, however, this may be where Katie and I diverge. I believe our stories are powerful and not always self defeating. Everyone has a story. I am still struggling with who you are at your core when you get more objective about your narrative. Perhaps that is what Katie is getting at, but I am not sure and still grappling with this question.
