Change Your Story, Change Your Life has won three book awards.

 

What if you could be the storyteller of your life? You don’t have to be just an actor playing a role written by someone else. You can be the writer, director, actor, and stagehand all rolled into one. Change Your Story, Change Your Life, winner of three book awards, combines the techniques and ideas of Jungian psychology and shamanism in a unique way to create a program for reclaiming power over your life and achieving personal transformation.

Carl Greer, PhD, PsyD, a retired Jungian analyst and clinical psychologist, and a  shamanic practitioner, has worked with many individuals in one-on-one and group settings to gently guide them into becoming aware of and working with the forces influencing the events of their lives. In this groundbreaking, award-winning self-help book, he offers practical tools for transformation. These will help you uncover wisdom hidden in the unconscious and draw in new energies that will bring to life a new and better life story.

The shamanic techniques used in this book allow you to travel to transpersonal realms, that is, realities that exist in the collective unconscious. There, you can acquire insights into your life as well as archetypal energies that will fuel your dreams and help you make the changes you have consciously chosen. Greer teaches that while you can choose to simply contemplate what you have experienced during shamanic journeys, you can also take a more active approach of dialoguing with figures, symbols, energies, and feelings or sensations you encounter either during the journey or afterward. The dialoguing technique, which involves questions and answers, can also be used with any energy, in any form, that you encounter in nature or in dreams.

As a retired clinical psychologist and Jungian analyst, Carl Greer understands there is often a gap between the intention to change one’s life and the actions and mindset needed to actually bring about transformation. He offers multiple modalities to ensure that you are empowered to make the modifications you desire. Journaling helps you become aware of your emotions, thoughts, and patterns, then consciously choose how you would like to change them. The shamanic and Jungian-inspired techniques tap into the unconscious mind to help you gain deeper insights and alter the energy that is affecting you. You will learn to identify life themes as energies or archetypes, and to appreciate the important of altering the archetypal energies affecting you. Change Your Story, Change Your Life offers encouragement, ideas, and practical ways to bring about self‑transformation.

One hundred percent of the author’s proceeds for his books go to various charities via The Greer Foundation.

Also available as an audiobook from Tantor Audio, narrated by Paul Brion
