Peace and Blessings! I am SA Brown from Richardson, TX. I want to share how storytelling is a survival skill. Storytelling helps us heal by turning overwhelming experiences into meaning we can understand and carry. When painful events stay unspoken, they often live in the body as stress, anxiety, or shame. Putting those experiences into words helps the brain organize what happened, connect emotions to language, and move memories out of “survival mode.” As we shape a narrative, we regain a sense of control, identity, and possibility. From the inside out, storytelling shifts us from feeling stuck in what happened to becoming active champions of what comes next.
