What is T3xt?
T3XT is a structured, systematic scaffolding exercise designed and copyrighted by Dylan Emerick-Brown to explore unconscious narratives, ascertain their origins, reveal their unintended influences on our lives, and allow the client to rewrite those narratives to better fit the future they want to live into. The name stems from the 3 elements required to fully investigate in order to deeply comprehend one's narrative: text, context, and subtext. This exercise is highly effective in individual as well as group settings for teams and organizational alignment. T3XT taps directly into the heart of narrative linguistic coaching.
We all have narratives that developed to serve a purpose long ago, but given their unconscious nature, have gone unedited for far too long. Those narratives no longer serve the purpose for which they were originally written and, in fact, now inhibit our own progress. We often see ourselves as the protagonists of our own narratives, but rarely do we take ownership as authors of them. Protecting our egos and established views of the world, these narratives blind us to other perspectives that would otherwise unleash our untapped potential and take advantage of our unique abilities. By pulling out of the unconscious and into the light of day these old stories, we can explore them, deconstruct them, decode them, and revise them to better fit the narrative the client wants to live.
The real work takes place outside of the exercise. This isn't a "fix-it" button in which one writes something, says it enough times, and the universe manifests it. It takes an open mind, honesty, and conscious effort to recognize when the old narrative is regaining influence and to place the new narrative back into focus where it belongs. People live into the future they see coming and this exercise helps people to see their futures more intentionally, whether as an individual or as a group.
