Reminiscence Therapy
Scientists have proposed that how a person feels about his/her "life story" can strongly affect their emotional wellbeing. Reminiscence therapy is mainly used in the treatment of Depression in later life. It encourages people not only to remember and reflect on positive memories of past events in their lives but also to resolve conflicts and regrets about past experiences. A new perspective and coping strategies can assist in the development of gratitude and reduce feelings of despair.
