Healing Memories: Power of Reminiscence Therapy Today
REMINISCENCE THERAPY
Reminiscence therapy is a powerful, non-pharmacological approach that uses the five senses—sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch—to help people with Dementia and Alzheimer’s reconnect with their past. Because long-term memories often remain intact much longer than short-term ones, watching old videos can serve as a "cognitive bridge." These visual prompts trigger the still-viable regions of the brain, evoking clear memories that might otherwise feel lost.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
By revisiting familiar faces, voices, and settings, individuals often experience:
- Enhanced Emotional Well-being: Reduces feelings of isolation and depression by reinforcing their sense of identity and self-worth.
- Improved Communication: Seeing a familiar person or event can spark spontaneous conversation, helping them find words that are usually difficult to retrieve.
- Reduced Agitation: The familiarity of personal footage provides a sense of comfort and security, which can calm anxiety and sun-downing symptoms.
- Strengthened Bonds: It shifts the interaction with caregivers from a "needs-based" relationship to a shared human experience, celebrating the person's life story.
