Psychotherapy for Focus, Memory Habits, and Imagination
_____________
Our memories are not reservoirs of content. They are ways we live in the world. To redefine our relationship with our memories is to redefine ourselves. We don’t need to do anything special, only explore what it would take for us to live fully.
No one tells you, but your relationship with your memory systems and the languages you use to connect with these systems is the key to healthy aging. Your relationship with your memory is like your relationship with your partner. You don’t need to know a whole lot about them to fall in love, but once you start the relationship, most essential information needs to be processed and integrated, otherwise your connection will suffer.
