Benefits of Taking the Guided Autobiography Class
- Designed to help individuals recall, organize and record their life stories
- Accountability – you will make the time to write your two pages when you know you’re expected to share them with your group
- Recalling your life through adult eyes can help you understand things a child could never have understood
Sharing your stories with a small group provides:
- community that counteracts the isolation of writing
- empathy and compassionate listening
- the support of being heard
- it diminishes our differences and makes us more aware of our shared experiences
- hearing the stories of others in the group frequently jogs our own memories
- feedback increases self-confidence
- friendships blossom
