INSIGHT

Storytelling and Meaning-Making

✨Key takeaways:

  • Storytelling helps humans process disorder and create meaning.
  • Families use stories to define individual roles and process shared experiences, including traumas.

Storytelling is how we make meaning from disorder, shaping experiences into understandable narratives. Example: family storytelling. Families also tell stories, weaving in shared experiences, both positive and negative, including traumas, to define each member's role within the family unit.
