About Guided Autobiography (GAB)
Guided Autobiography is a unique form of self-reflection that encourages and assists individuals in writing their life story. It is an interactive process that provides guidance and support from an experienced facilitator who helps the participant identify meaningful moments, themes, and values in their life and create a narrative based on these reflections. It allows for individuals to take ownership of their autobiographical process, providing them with the agency to share only those aspects of their life they feel comfortable disclosing.
Guided Autobiography is beneficial for both mental and physical health. Writing one’s life story can bring about feelings of greater understanding and appreciation of oneself while helping the individual recognize how far they have come in terms of personal growth. Through this reflective exercise, participants can gain insight into how experiences from their past have shaped who they are today and how trauma or loss has impacted their lives. Additionally, it can provide a cathartic release, allowing them to express emotions that may otherwise remain unspoken.

Rick’s Latest Listicle: Friends By Any Other Name
Click to hear audio edition. Narration by WondervoxAI.
Rick Rose
Co-Host of The Twist PodcastWelcome to Rick’s Latest Listicle, a regular feature sharing Rick Rose’s lists of things to know about.
As a single man, another Valentine’s Day came and went this year. But terms of endearment aren’t just for lovers and partners. I use them all the time on my friends. I got great practice living in Louisiana. In the South, affection and respect are expressed abundantly. They can be used in a variety of contexts, from everyday conversation to more romantic gestures.
Here are my favorite Top 5 Terms of Endearment.
5 Sweetheart or Sweets
The word “sweetheart” originated in the 13th century as a combination of the words “sweet” and “heart.” In the Middle Ages, the heart was seen as the seat of emotion, so calling someone your “sweetheart” was a way of saying that they were dear to you.
