Poetic medicine is a healing approach that uses poetry and storytelling to explore emotional, spiritual, and psychological aspects of health. It recognizes that words, metaphor, and creative expression can foster connection, insight, and resilience beyond traditional clinical treatments. By engaging with poetry, individuals can better understand their experiences, find meaning, and cultivate hope, facilitating holistic healing. This approach values the power of language as a therapeutic tool, integrating art and medicine to support well-being on deeper levels.
