Summary

The Power of Memoir is a pioneering how-to book that helps  the reader heal long-term emotional problems by providing a new  step-by-step program that teaches the reader to:     Analyze both their conscious and unconscious motivation for  writing the memoir: Is it about preserving memories, arguing a  point of view about controversial conflicts of the past -- a  marriage or parent-child relationship -- getting revenge,  promulgating a religious or political point of view?  Sort out the truth from lies and family myths  Discover the secret stories that are the keys to healing  Explore the dynamics and roles of dysfunctional families  Heal old wounds, creating a better present and brighter  future    Going through these steps leaves the reader able to choose the  significant milestones and turning points that make up a coherent  story with a first, second, and third act, leading to some  denouement and epiphany. Dr. Myers explains that it's important not  to sugar-coat or avoid any obstacles, failures, losses, or dark  nights of the soul in your memoir, but rather let the emerging  truth of your life become visible in order to explain, define, and  support who you are and where you are still going. Research has  shown that such a process can not only improve but has a positive  impact on chronic ailments like arthritis and asthma. And as an  extra added bonus the book includes a self-directed guide to memoir  tips and techniques, important questions and answers, topics that  should be included, and other methods applicable for an individual  writing alone or in a group.
