Reminiscence

Reminiscence refers to the act of recalling past experiences, memories, or events. It’s a natural process where we reflect on previous moments in our lives, often triggered by sensory cues like sights, sounds, or smells. This can lead to a deeper understanding of ourselves and our emotions. In psychology, reminiscence can play a role in improving mood and cognitive function, especially in older adults, by reinforcing connections to their personal histories. It helps us maintain our identity and can foster connections with others as we share our stories.
