THE SCIENCE OF STORY
Storytelling is a powerful method for psychological integration and meaning-making. At The Village It Takes, we use narrative tools and sensory-informed practices to help you process experiences in the present—to prevent what may otherwise land in the brain and body as distressing, storing itself as trauma to unpack later.
Stories help make growth visible, manageable, and meaningful. Our methods emphasize emotional regulation, resilience, and identity formation through shared language, self-advocacy, and embodiment.
