When Arielle Essex was diagnosed with a brain tumour she tried to come to terms with this and get better by exploring alternative health and medicine, becoming a fully certified NLP trainer and coach, osteopath and crainio- sacral therapist. The answers she gleaned brought her to a technique she calls ‘compassionate coaching’, in which she shows that solving problems in our lives (whether health- related or not), and moving forward, are closely related to our attitude towards ourselves, which should be gentle, creative and changeful. Last year her consultant’s tests showed her brain tumour had gradually disappeared, without any of the chemotherapy he had at first prescribed. Change Your Script shows how often we get trapped by the story grid we lay over our lives: for example ‘I’m living a winning story’, ‘a hero epic’, or ‘an adventure story’- or, and very damaging: ‘I’m a victim’, ‘I’m being held back’, ‘I’m on a revenge trip’. Until you heal the source of these stories you will never be able to move on- and they may also have a corrosive effect on your health. Arielle explains how to rewrite your scripts, make better choices and generally ‘become a star in your own movie’.
