Cómo cambiar tu historia puede cambiar tu vida

Las historias te ayudan a dar sentido a tu vida. Pero cuando esas narraciones son incompletas confusas, pueden llegar a estancarte en vez de aclararte las ideas. En una charla muy práctica, la psicoterapeuta y columnista de consejos Lori Gottlieb nos enseña cómo liberarnos de las historias que nos contamos a nosotros mismos convirtiéndonos en nuestros propios editores y escribiendo el relato desde un punto de vista diferente.
