Furthermore, after each coaching session, the coach reads out past session information from the autobiography creation tool 11 and displays it for confirmation. During this process, feedback is collected from clients after coaching sessions to evaluate the effectiveness of the program. They also collaborate with staff, for example by holding regular meetings with facility staff to share participants' reactions and changes and evaluate the quality of their services.

The input unit 54 is an operating means such as a touch panel, a keyboard, or a mouse. The communication unit 55 communicates with an external device (for example, a terminal device of a client). The memory 59 stores the program executed by the processing unit 61 . The memory 59 also stores various types of information shown in FIG. The processing unit 61 executes the program PRG stored in the memory 59 to perform the processing of the autobiography writing tool 11 using coaching as defined in this embodiment. The processing unit 61 associates the various pieces of information shown in FIG. 1 input from the input unit 54 and stores them in the memory 59.

[0023] The autobiography writing tool of this embodiment is used in services such as elderly care facilities for the wealthy, where professional coaches use a narrative approach to help elderly people write their autobiographies. The purpose of this process is to help older people reflect on their lives, clarify their values ​​and intentions, and contribute to the activation of positive human relationships.

[0024] The narrative approach is a form of psychotherapy derived from family therapy and developed as a trauma treatment.

[0026] Below, we will explain the specific steps and techniques of the coaching process using the autobiography creation tool. The structure of a coaching session is as follows: The initial consultation clarifies the client's goals, and regular sessions monitor progress. Sessions are designed to deepen the client's self-awareness and promote behavioral change.

[0027] Examples of techniques include: It includes reframing (changing the way you see things), goal setting, problem-solving questioning techniques, exploring emotions, and developing action plans.

[0028] The methodology for creating an autobiography using a narrative approach is as follows: The story is constructed as follows: Helping clients tell the story of their lives, which involves identifying significant events and finding the narrative threads that connect them.

[0029] Narrative restructuring can help clients find new meaning in past experiences, deepening self-understanding and self-acceptance.

[0030] The following coaching techniques address the specific psychological and social needs of older people: Utilizing life experiences involves utilizing the long life experiences of older people and respecting their knowledge, values, and feelings.

[0032] Below, we will explain what differentiates our service from existing welfare and nursing care services. Compared to existing care services and coaching programs, the program of this embodiment is unique in that it combines the life experiences of elderly people with the creation of their autobiographies. Existing nursing care services mainly focus on providing support for daily life and basic care, such as home visits, day care, short-term stays, and the provision of welfare equipment. These services focus on assistance with daily life, physical care, and health management.

[0033] Existing nursing care services focus on maintaining and stabilizing the physical health and lifestyles of the elderly. In contrast, the program of this embodiment places emphasis on the elderly's psychological fulfillment, self-actualization, and life summary. Through the process of creating an autobiography using the autobiography creation tool of this embodiment, the aim is for the elderly to reflect on their own lives, find meaning, and increase their self-esteem.

[0034] The differentiating points of this embodiment are as follows. This approach focuses on promoting psychological transformation and delving deeply into individuals' life experiences. This unique value not offered by conventional nursing care services brings a new dimension to the lives of seniors. Furthermore, through coaching based on a narrative approach, seniors are given the opportunity to reconstruct their own lives as stories and share their experiences and lessons with their families and society.

[0035] The factors that differentiate our service from existing autobiography production services are as follows: The program of this embodiment offers a unique approach to deepening clients' self-awareness and promoting personal growth in the process of creating their autobiography. This uniqueness is the biggest differentiating factor from existing autobiography writing services.

[0037] Furthermore, while existing autobiography services focus primarily on writing the autobiography, the coaching in this embodiment emphasizes the process of dialogue and self-exploration. Through this process, clients can gain a deeper understanding of their own lives and discover new meaning.

[0038] Individualized approach: Coaching accommodates the diversity and individual needs of each individual client to help them achieve their goals, whereas autobiography generally focuses on documenting an individual's past experiences.

(Example 1) Autobiography: An autobiography that looks back on an individual's life. It describes episodes from childhood to the present, important life turning points, experiences of marriage and child-rearing, career transitions, etc. It is intended to help individuals look back on their past and recognize the meaning and value of their life. (Example 2) Autobiographies with Dramatic Episodes: Some autobiographies are written in the I-novel style, focusing on a particular dramatic moment or defining event in a person's life. These explore how a particular experience or event impacted the person's life. (Case 3) Autobiography of family history: A family history is a gift from children or grandchildren to their parents or grandparents on a special occasion such as a 60th birthday celebration. This autobiography is a way to look back on family history and strengthen family ties.

[0040] (Case 4) Autobiographies including end-of-life planning and wills: As part of end-of-life planning, some people write autobiographies that look back on their lives and include a will or end-of-life note. These are used to summarise one's life and leave one's thoughts for future generations. (Case 5) Autobiographies focusing on business or career: Autobiographies written by entrepreneurs and business managers focusing on their own business or career. These are intended to convey management knowledge and experience to future generations by sharing their motivation for starting a business, business growth, successes and failures, etc.
