The Stories We Tell Ourselves

Imagine what your life would be like with less stress and anxiety. Imagine what your relationships would be like if they were deeper, longer-lasting, and more fulfilling. Imagine what you would be like if the best possible version of you showed up in your relationships. If you have trouble imagining such a future, Scott Gornto has good news for you with the October 21, 2014 release of The Stories We Tell Ourselves, a book filled with wisdom to help reduce personal anxiety, decrease loneliness, and improve relationships. The Stories We Tell Ourselves is a culmination of 20+ years of extensive research that Gornto has conducted on relationships, human behavior, the mind, and emotions. As a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT), a certified sex therapist 

 

(AASECT), and an expert on relationships and personal development, Scott has worked with thousands of clients, from teenagers to professional athletes, to individuals and those in committed relationships, to company executives and pastors. Based on his research with clients as well as personal experience, Gornto reveals that our heightened states of anxiety and our lack of fulfilling relationships stem from a single origin: The stories we tell ourselves. What are these stories? Where do they come from? Why do we tell them so often? Can we get rid of them? How much better could life be if we stopped telling ourselves these stories? What if the stories we tell ourselves are true? If our desire is to experience true, deep, and lasting connections with others in our lives, we must be willing to notice, pause, and rewrite the stories we tell ourselves. Readers of The Stories We Tell Ourselves will acquire the necessary tools to do just that.
