As it's national storytelling week, I thought it would be interesting to share a little about the healing power of storytelling. It's probably no surprise to anyone that I like using stories in my therapeutic and coaching work. I've written many and I've spoken even more on my storytelling YouTube channels.
There are many benefits of storytelling. Stories can impact on the way people think and feel. They can have an interpersonal impact, both on how someone relates to others through laying down patterns and sharing knowledge, and on bringing people together by the act of storytelling and helping to share and retain knowledge through stories of exploits and important information that others need to be aware of, as well as helping to pass information on through generations.
