This episode examines how language and storytelling become crucial tools for people facing health challenges. We explore how individuals reconstruct their personal narratives when faced with serious illness, including the metaphors they choose and reject, and how these choices influence their coping strategies. Through conversations with writers, patients, and narrative therapists, we investigate how people maintain agency over their stories while navigating medical systems and social expectations. Special attention is paid to how different cultures and backgrounds influence these narrative choices.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
