Abstract

This chapter uses the theory of narrative inquiry and the practice of multigenre writing to explain the implications of using writing to assist in healing from physical pain. Dr. Jennifer Bird has always used narratives and journal writing with the college students she teaches. During her physical therapy sessions with Dr. Eric Wanner, she realized a neck pain journal read by her physical therapist provided additional insights into pain recovery. In this chapter, Dr. Bird and Dr. Wanner share their perspectives of their collaborative narrative inquiry qualitative research project and advice of how writing can lead teachers to develop a stronger self-awareness of what they need both physically and emotionally.
