Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• My whole life feels like a jumble of memories I’ve never laid out in one place
• The hard things that happened to me float around with no order, like they’re still happening now rather than back then
• My past feels like loose, raw fragments that don’t add up to anything, and I want to lay it out in chapters and actually write the story of each one
• My life feels like one undifferentiated blur of stuff that happened, and I can’t step back far enough to see the shape of it
• My life feels like a flat list of events with no shape, and I want to find the two or three moments that genuinely redirected everything
