THE POWER OF SHARING YOUR STORY 💥Storytelling helps health care teams Stories provide a ‘human’ perspective on the emotional recovery and the breadth of emotional needs in stroke survivors. Stories give insight regarding the emotional aspects of recovery and what kind of support individuals might need. 💥Storytelling helps the storyteller Debra’s writing of her story and telling it since has been critical to her recovery. Speech therapists we’re working with see the power of storytelling, far beyond helping people with aphasia to improve their speech. 💥Storytelling helps other survivors Many survivors have reached out to share how our stories, especially Debra’s delivered through the challenges of aphasia, have given them the courage to explore further and share their own. And how doing so has advanced their recoveries. We’d love to hear from you.
