How does storytelling reduce healthcare burnout?

The Brain Tattoo method creates a structured, safe space where healthcare professionals distill what matters most into a single phrase. This interactive methodology reconnects clinicians with their purpose, builds peer support networks, and reduces turnover intent by 30% — addressing burnout at its root: a loss of meaning.

"Dear World gave us the opportunity to share intimate moments with the people we love and with the people we were trying to build a tremendous amount of trust with. There is no greater trust than telling someone something deeply personal about yourself. When the whole team does that, you don’t just have a chance to become closer — you do. It had nothing to do with basketball, and yet it had everything to do with basketball. It created a more trusting environment where you could teach better defense, better offense, and build a stronger system of communication, because people weren’t holding anything back."
