Show Notes

Dr. Jennifer Jenks is a Harvard-trained psychiatrist who works with children, adolescents and adults in her private practice in Ann Arbor, Michigan. As an avid writer herself, she shares a solid belief in the benefits of writing; sharing and creating stories can help us through difficult times in our lives, especially now during our current global pandemic. She agrees that writing is one of the best ways to share ourselves with others. She says, "When you read someone's words you hear their voice, they come back, they come to you in a way that even photos don't do - photos, videos, they all do something different - but there's something about the written word that's so powerful."
