The Rockport Public Library’s Let’s Feel Better in 2026 series continues Wednesday, Feb. 4, at 1 p.m., with a presentation by author and authenticity coach Suzanne Carver.

In Story as Medicine, Carver invites participants to explore the stories they tell — about themselves, their past, and what they believe is possible — and how those stories quietly shape the way they live.

"Rather than focusing on writing technique, this interactive talk centers on awareness, reflection, and choice: noticing which narratives support us, which ones limit us, and where we have the power to consciously reshape the stories we’re living by," said a news release.

Through guided reflection and simple, accessible exercises, participants will learn how to reframe self-talk, loosen the grip of inherited or outdated stories, and expand the way they see themselves and their lives. No writing experience is required — just curiosity and a willingness to look at your story with fresh eyes.

Suzanne Carver is the founder of The True YOU Blog and the author of the novel Flight Path.

A graduate of Camden-Rockport High School, she now works as an authenticity coach, teacher, speaker, and guide for people on their journey of self-discovery. She is also a wife, mother, and trauma survivor.
