Reminiscence therapy

Reminiscence therapy is when someone helps us remember things from our past. Like when we sit with our grandparents and they tell us stories about their life when they were younger, and we feel happy and learn many things.

When we grow old or have any kind of disease like Alzheimer's or dementia, it may be difficult for us to remember things. We may forget important people in our lives, memories, or how to perform daily activities. Reminiscence therapy helps us go back in time and remember things. It involves talking about memories of our childhood, youth, marriage, parenting, and other significant moments.

Sometimes, doctors or caregivers ask us questions to help us remember things, such as "What was your school like?" or "What were the games you played as a child?". These questions help us bring back positive memories and emotions, making us happy and giving us a sense of worth.

With reminiscence therapy, we not only recall our past but also keep our mind active, form new relationships, and build our self-esteem. Through this therapy, we learn more about ourselves, our family, and our cultural heritage.

Overall, reminiscence therapy is like taking a trip down memory lane with someone's help, and it makes us feel joyful and confident.
