story sharing
Passing narratives around
Story sharing is the practice of people telling personal narratives or experiences to one another, typically in a group setting or online community.
The term emphasizes the reciprocal or communal aspect—not just telling stories but exchanging them: The workshop focused on story sharing as a way to build empathy.
Common in therapeutic, educational, and team-building contexts where the act of both telling and listening creates connection.
