I am a retired social worker with a special interest in lifespan and developmental process. Over the course of my career I worked with infants and toddlers, focusing on ages and stages. Mid career, I spent seven years volunteering with hospice, talking with clients about life and imminent death. Post retirement, I am working with seniors, learning about aging and what the "inner life" of aging means. Through these combined experiences, in addition to my own life experience, I have come to understand the power of story.
My interest in story motivated me to pursue additional training in personal narrative and Life Review facilitation. I am trained as a Guided Autobiography (GAB) facilitator and I have trained in digital storytelling.
Facilitating Life Review groups, helping others explore the meaning of their own story, is both a privilege and a pleasure.
Digital story is another venue for Life Review. This may be something you would like to pursue after the Life Story class.
