I know I have a drawer full of mental receipts, and I suspect I am not alone. They are the bits of evidence we keep to remind ourselves of what we did or did not do, particularly when the experience has acquired a meaning involving regret, shame or embarrassment. But memories are reconstructed and embellished, and the meaning we make of what happens to us may not accurately reflect the reality of the situation. So rather than deciding that we need to chuck everything out without so much as a backwards glance, I am exploring what happens when we sort by the value those receipts add. My trusty old friend Transactional Analysis has something useful to offer here, particularly the Adult ego state, where we can sift without comparison, attachment to outcome and quite so much emotion. Asking how many receipts we have in itself is the wrong question because we what need to ask is what they are costing us to keep.
