Ep 40: Silence in Narrative Health

In this episode, Rick will explore the many ways silence plays a role in Narrative inquiry. Dr Blix is Sami, an indigenous culture from north of the Arctic Circle in Norway. She wasn’t aware of her Sami heritage due to her family's reticence to speak about it. Norway, like Canada, has a history of removing Sami children from their culture. Silence in family structures can be very complicated, and Rick has always seen silence as a barrier to truth and better health. Dr Blix helps to make silence a little less black and white. In fact, Dr Blix helps Rick understand that silence, not silencing, can be an act of care.Slice of PI is supported by Pharming
