VISUAL PROMPTS

Sunday, September 28, 2025 04:04PM

My development of "Visual Prompts" comes from a combination of common sense and things I have learned over my twenty plus years working in the field of counseling psychology and researching as a polymath.

When I recognized that I was subject to the trauma-induced short-term memory loss, I found a simple way to remember things.

• make lists
• keep a daily dairy/journal
• tell people you have "trauma-induced short-term memory loss" so they understand you
• place small objects in a place you will perform the task that you want to recall
• make the item something that is visually connected to what you want to remember to do or say
• take photographs
