Hazel Katherine Larkin: The Power in Naming Expereinces

In this episode, our guest Hazel joins us via zoom from Ireland.  Hazel begins her story by reminding us of the fairytale character Rumpelstiltskin and how he teaches us what power there is in naming a thing. 
In this episode the named things that are addressed include acknowledging histories of trauma and experiences such as abuse, gaslighting, narcissism and the lived experience of being a female with ADHD. 
In this conversation we also consider Story in a different light.  In this podcast I hold the idea and vehicle of story quite high for how it can help with personal growth and social impact, but Hazel explains how story can be used to bend reality to the tellers will and I feel this is something important to be aware of going forwards. At the same time, Hazel reminds us that our stories are our stories and it is up to us what we do with them, how or when or if we share them. 
I acknowledge Hazel's honesty, because by her naming her experiences it may help others understand their own journeys to becoming unabridged.
