Thank you for sharing your ideas on the use of story as therapy. I love reading books to kids and will plan to use books that give children a chance to hear about characters who are struggling with similar problems to their own. I remember identifying at a young age with characters and wanting to be like them, and carrying those feelings over to real life. As you suggested, stories don't have to be in books. Using music or painting can help to bring out a sharing of emotions.
