Experts encourage storytelling while rebuilding identities, and so do we. Every time we tell our story, we grow-as individuals and as a couple. It reminds us of who we are. It makes us think more deeply about who we want to be. The conversations we have – with survivors, carepartners, professional caregivers and students – always leave us thinking more deeply about the choices we have made, and those we now have in front of us. And, while we are thrilled that it appears our storytelling is helpful to those who hear it, often with comments about Debra’s courage to tell her story through the challenges of aphasia, we know the value of those sessions flows equally to us. So please, tell your story to help your own recovery – and for the benefit of all. #stroke #stories #narrative #stroytelling #aphasia #aphasiastrong
