Couldn’t resist that one, I was first introduced to the idea of the 6 word stories a few years back during a session of the writing group for the pain support group where we get together to do some form of writing for expressive writing (Dr Pinnebaker researched this topic a while ago). The idea of that session was to write a 6 word story about our own experiences with chronic pain, and then share them in a future conversation. I have an intermittent schedule of attendance, so I don’t know if the group ever discussed it eventually.
