Prescriptive memories are both imaginal and/or tangible – not requiring any art background, whatsoever.
A playful approach towards persistent grief and loss years after the event? It begins working with a client’s memory, curating novelty from positive felt-sense memories- then co-creating an even more novel “prescriptive” memory from these lived experiences so that it becomes the place where healing can happen.
The result? Your client is able to locate the fleeting, joyful bits so often overshadowed by loss that no new insights can emerge –until finally they can arrive at the memory they need in order to move from isolation to re-integration in the world.
Nancy Gershman is a memory artist and the developer of Dreamscaping, an imaginal and photo-based practice for working with people contending with the loss of self, a person, place, or thing. Nancy is also a full time psychotherapist at BHAVA Therapy Group in New York City. Since 2013, Gershman has been the host of Death Café New York City.
