  Storytelling as Therapy: How Sharing Heals and Connects Us In every culture, across every continent, through every era of history, storytelling has endured as one of the most powerful human traditions. Before written language, before data and diagnoses, we shared experiences through the spoken word, painting vivid pictures of love, loss, war, birth, celebration, and sorrow.

What if, instead of focusing on what’s missing, we shifted our attention to what’s present? This is the power of gratitude, a conscious, intentional practice that rewires our thinking and redefines our experience of life. Gratitude ...
