"It's not often that people want to hear me talk about my life": Storytelling experiences of people with aphasia in an interdisciplinary songwriting project.

Songwriting may provide meaningful opportunities for people with aphasia to experience the power of sharing stories about themselves. Key components of this experience aligned with the core elements of the positive psychology PERMA (Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishments) framework. Findings support incorporating storytelling through songwriting into the rehabilitation journey for individuals with aphasia.
