The chapter continues to discuss coping by repeatedly narrating an experience. It sets out with a systematic exposition of factors that influence how the content and form of narratives changes in the process of repeated retellings. Other influences besides coping are processes of forgetting, of narrativizing by putting memories into a narrative form, of assimilating the story to existing genres and master narratives, and by integrating social validation. These factors are traced in the few existing studies of retellings. Then William Stiles’ model of narrative change in psychotherapy suggests a curvilinear course, in which initial narrativizing and elaborating of experiences is followed by a process of simplification and condensation. Finally identity change is discussed as another influence on retellings across long time intervals and illustrated with repeated narratives across twelve years.
