50. Dr. Annie Brewster: The Healing Power of Stories

Dr. Annie Brewster is a both a physician and a patient and in this week’s episode, we explore the incredible (and I dare say surprising) healing power of storytelling. We cover Dr. Brewster’s personal experiences and the ensuing work that she and her colleagues have done to empower, inspire, and… to heal.

Her work is meaningful and will, I hope, help you to consider your own personal journey as well.

We also touch on issues related to physician burnout, the lack of integration within our current health care system, and ways that this work might benefit our listeners and their organizations.

Dr. Brewster founded the Health Story Collaborative, linked here. On this website, you can also find information about her outstanding book, entitled: The Healing Power of Storytelling.

    Hello Rey,

    Happy New Year! I enjoyed reading your recent book and it is such a pleasure following your journey. The Boston Home received a grant in 2024 that gave four of our incredible residents the opportunity to work with Annie to write their stories. She is simply amazing and it was so powerful to witness my residents share.

    If you are ever in the Dorchester area, please stop in to visit. The Boston Home is truly an extraordinary community.

    All of my very best,
    Chris
