In Story as Medicine, Carver invites participants to explore the stories they tell — about themselves, their past, and what they believe is possible — and how those stories quietly shape the way they live. Rather than focusing on writing technique, this interactive talk centers on awareness, reflection, and choice: noticing which narratives support us, which ones limit us, and where we have the power to consciously reshape the stories we’re living by. Through guided reflection and simple, accessible exercises, participants will learn how to reframe self-talk, loosen the grip of inherited or outdated stories, and expand the way they see themselves and their lives.
