Dignity Therapy

Dignity Therapy is a therapeutic approach designed for patients facing terminal illnesses. It involves guided conversations where patients share their life stories, values, and beliefs. A trained therapist helps them articulate what gives their life meaning, allowing them to express their hopes and leave a legacy for loved ones. This process can enhance patients' sense of dignity, reduce anxiety about dying, and provide emotional relief. Ultimately, Dignity Therapy aims to affirm life and help individuals feel that their experiences and thoughts will be remembered and respected after they pass away.
