Storytelling plays an excellent role in connecting someone with a low memory. Stories are an important part of someone’s identity.
Storytelling coaching is a great way to improve communication skills and social interaction. For elders struggling to communicate and recall facts, storytelling gives an opportunity to prepare a fictional narrative. Thus they don't have to face frustration to remember facts, bacause storytelling helps them communicate and share memories. Even if they don't have facts, it is an opportunity for them to fully utilize their imagination!
An important part of taking care for someone struggling with memory issues is to have connection to that person and understand what they like and dislike. Thus memory care management activities would be more suitable for that person. Storytelling is a therapy that creates bonds so that we can learn more about that person.
When some is having problems related to memory most commonly they become withdrawn, this may result in isolation and depression. If you sit down with someone and hear their memories, tell a story or make one up together this helps them improve their mood dramatically. That’s why Next Dimension Story
has brought a memory care management programme. The coach George Eapen has years of experience of over seventeen years. To help people with short-term memory loss in old age they have introduced a memory management session.
