Description
Join us for an engaging and reflective session focused on the art of storytelling around career transitions and retirement. Together, we’ll explore how we talk to others about these significant life changes, and what we learn about ourselves along the way.
Storytelling is a shared, two-way experience. One person offers a story; others listen and respond, sharing what they heard, how it resonated, and where it led them. These responses aren’t simply feedback, they are a creative process in their own right .Come prepared with stories of your own, but just as importantly, come ready to actively listen, respond, and co‑create meaning with others. This session invites both personal reflection and collaborative discovery.
This session will be facilitated by Dr. Rex Kay, a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst at the Mount Sinai Hospital. Having just given up the role as Head of Psychodynamic Psychotherapy after over two decades in the position, later-career transitions are very much on his mind. Throughout his career, he has viewed medicine, psychiatry, and psychotherapy through the lens of narrative and storytelling. He was a co-founder of Ars Medica: A journal of medicine, the arts, and humanities, a literary journal focused on the intersection between medicine and the arts, now in its 22nd year. At the same time, he worked with two colleagues to create Narrative Competence Group Psychotherapy, a form of group therapy utilizing story-telling and the discussion of stories to facilitate personal change. Through those experiences, he was invited to facilitate the OMA’s Annual Storyteller Evening, and has done so for almost two decades.
