Not sure exactly where this should go...
basically, due to stuff that was out of my control when i was younger, i have blocked out a lot of my childhood memories, and thus can't remember much between the ages of 9 and 14. I was told my lots of therapists and social workers that they would do life story work with me. As far as i know, this involves making a book that contains pictures, and any memories, and trying to piece all the bits together...but thats all i i know...
Has anyone done anything like this, did you benefit from it, and how did you do it?
thanks...

It sounds like an interesting project..but it's something that personally I wouldn't do. I think it's easier not remembering.
