Abstract	Abstract: Storytelling is a profound and age-old practice with the power to heal individuals and communities by fostering emotional expression, empathy, and personal growth. This paper explores the therapeutic benefits of storytelling, emphasizing its role in processing trauma, building resilience, and strengthening social connections. Through the sharing of narratives, people can find catharsis, understanding, and solidarity, ultimately promoting mental well-being and collective healing. Drawing from diverse cultural traditions and contemporary practices, the study examines how storytelling serves as a tool for healing, offering a path for emotional recovery and transformative change.
