Laura Gutman (family therapist and writer) Human Biography Building method consists of chronologically organizing our memories, our feelings, all of those things that were named, muted or unspoken during our childhood.

With the accompaniment of the therapist, the patient initiates a process of personal inquiry that will lead him/her to a greater understanding of him/herself and the logic of his/her actions, grudges, bitterness, fears or rigidity. The method intends to raise emotional truths over the "maternal discourse" that has tainted the way we see and live life.

The idea is to feel how words organize a reality that has been hidden up to now, and how this reality fits into our inner self as a truth that dismantles the character that we function with. This "cheated self" has its benefits, but also determines and limits us, and can even drown us.

By expanding our consciousness we can assume an adult and mature responsibility for others and ourselves. And, most importantly, we can choose how we want to live our lives.

Is an unpleasant and painful task but also very liberating.
