Your Life-Story, Part 1: It’s Subjective and Biased

In Life Therapy, you and your therapist view the present life, review the past, and preview the future of your life-story. 

You view, review, and preview your life-story as you are now, from where you are now in your life-story. Your point-of-view is subjective and biased. So, is the point-of-view of your therapist. 

It’s subjective because you are the subject viewing your own life-story. Your life-story is the object you’re viewing.

You aren’t outside your life-story looking at it as if you’re a disembodied spectator. You’re in your story. You’re the main character. You are the story.

You are your life-story.

The only point-of-view you have is yours. Your point-of-view of your life-story is biased because it’s yours. It’s skewed by your subjectivity. No one else has your point-of-view because no one else is you living your life-story.

Your Life Therapist is now a character in your story too. Your therapist’s point-of-view is subjective and biased for the same reasons as yours.

There is no objective, unbiased point-of-view from which to view the present, review the past, and preview the future of your life.
