Kraft und Last der Erinnerungen : Leidfaden 2022, Heft 2

Those who remember tell stories to themselves and to others. Stories that bring the past back to life in the imagination, try to preserve impressions, secure souvenirs and want to be sure of them. Memories update experiences in a very personal way in the form of individual stories. People who have experienced the same thing do not remember the same thing, but create their own versions, which may well be contradictory among themselves. They can be powerful stories of encouragement, supporting orientation and stories of hope. Or they harbor stressful experiences, sleep-depriving self-reproaches, life-restricting beliefs. This guide booklet offers a variety of approaches to accompanying work with memories in order to understand and constructively shape one's own life, significant interpersonal relationships and the associated stories.
