Reclaiming Your Voice: The Art of Transf...

Abuse Survivor Network
About this episode

In this episode, Brandon discusses the power of narrative as we explore the intricacies of storytelling in the context of communication, support, education, self discovery, and healing. With a focus on clarity and connection, Brandon guides you through the process of shaping your personal experiences into coherent and impactful stories.

In this conversation, we discuss the ins and outs of what goes into a story. From your plot points, to themes, to proper framing, Brandon illuminates the structural elements that can guide you in articulating your journey. By embracing these storytelling strategies, you're not just recounting events; you're crafting a narrative of survival, self-discovery, support, education, and ultimately, healing.
