Memories are Just Stories We Tell Ourselves
Memories are stories we tell ourselves about the past. The question is: are they helpful or unhelpful stories? While we can't change the past, we can change the stories we tell. Alysa learns this lesson when her past trauma becomes a source of strength and growth. But first she must tell a different story.
Book Excerpt
The Atlantis Twins: A Mermaid Curse Urban Fantasy Novel
Memories. That was Dr. Jergenson’s focus. Ever since I admitted I remembered almost nothing from before my rescue, that’s all she talked about. Sometimes I made up stories. Perhaps they were memories. Wasn’t a memory just a story, anyway?
“You’re distracted,” Jergenson commented. I shifted on the sofa, the leather sticking to my thighs.
“No, I’m not.”
Jergenson was a neuropsychiatrist who specialized in people with brain injuries. “Have more memories returned?” she asked.
I shrugged. I considered mentioning Fish Mouth or hearing Alyx’s voice and wondered how she’d react.
“Did it ever occur to you that part of you, that scared little girl inside, doesn’t want to remember?”
