In this episode, Michelle Auerbach talks about the power of storytelling as a trauma aware technology for change. We discuss how storytelling can be used as a tool for highly sensitive people to help us co-regulate, calm our nervous systems and take away the difficulties of change. 

Michelle and I met when our books were published alongside each other in the Resilience Series – a series of books to support people through the COVID-19 Crisis. We dive into her latest book, 'The Life Saving Skill of Story.'

 Michelle Auerbach is an author, speaker and storyteller and she holds a Masters of Fine Arts in prose writing from Naropa University. She is completing her PhD with her dissertation on story as a technology for trauma aware change for individuals, organisations and communities. She has published two novels, Alice Modern and The Third Kind of Horse along with her recently published, ‘The Life Saving Skill of Story’ as part of the Resilience Series. She writes for the New York Times and The London Guardian.
