This reflective practice not only preserves your personal history but also provides an opportunity for introspection, helping you to appreciate the milestones and challenges you’ve encountered.
Sharing your life story can strengthen family bonds, inspire future generations, and ensure that your unique voice and perspective are remembered and cherished.

Reminiscence Therapy
Reminiscence Therapy is a valuable tool in enhancing the wellbeing of individuals, particularly those with dementia. Reminiscence therapy generally tries to focus on tapping into long-term memory, which often stays intact for longer than short-term memory, in people with dementia. As the ‘emotion centre’ of the brain isn’t affected by dementia the person can draw on the pleasant and comforting memories that reminiscence therapy can bring out, leading to reduced anxiety and a better feeling of ‘belonging’.
Additionally, this therapy helps build stronger connections between carers and those they care for, as shared stories deepen understanding and empathy. Engaging with memories also stimulates the mind, potentially slowing cognitive decline. Overall, reminiscence therapy enriches the quality of life for people with dementia and creates meaningful social interactions that benefit families.
If you or a loved one is living with dementia, please reach out to me. Together, we can explore reminiscence therapy to bring warmth and joy through cherished memories.
