How to Stop Feeling Stuck in Your Own Story
If you keep thinking,
“Why am I still here? Why can’t I move forward?”
You're probably feeling stuck—not just in your life, but in the story you’re telling yourself about it.
It might sound like:
“I’m always the one who messes things up.”
“It’s too late for me to change now.”
“This is just who I am.”
When you feel stuck in life, the real trap isn’t your job, your relationship, or your routines—it’s often the internal storyyou've been repeating for years.
What Does It Mean to Be Stuck in a Story?
We all carry internal narratives. They’re built from childhood, experience, culture, and survival strategies.
But here’s the thing:
Your story might be outdated—and you don’t even realise it.
Examples of stuck storylines:
“I have to be the strong one.”
“No one really sees me.”
“I’m the black sheep.”
“I’ll be happy when…”
These patterns affect how you see yourself, what you believe you deserve, and what you think is possible.
What If You Could Edit the Script?
At Hatch, we believe that life isn’t something you fix.
It’s something you rewrite.
Our Story service is built for people who are emotionally stuck, creatively blocked, or tired of repeating the same inner loops.
Instead of endless talking, we use:
Metaphor + Symbol to bypass logic and tap into the root pattern
Story Mapping to visualise where you are, what you believe, and where you’re headed
Narrative Reframing to shift your perspective and open new paths
Creative Tools like object work, journaling, role techniques, and visual prompts
This is creative therapy for people who need change with structure and imagination.
