When I was in Los Angeles recently, I was talking to a Hollywood actress who was working on a new movie script. She was sharing with me how she was developing the characters in her script and what their origin story or back-story was in her script.

That made me think about how mind-body-spirit practitioners, life coaches, therapists, etc. try to view and understand the origin story of a person’s life.

One definition of an “origin story” is an account or back-story revealing how a character, or group of people become a protagonist or antagonist and how it adds to the overall interest and complexity of a narrative, often giving reasons for their intentions. An “origin story” or is also a term used in the study of myths.

In comic book terminology, an “origin story” is an account or back-story revealing how a character or team gained their superpowers and/or the circumstances under which they became superheroes or supervillains.”
