Portfolio of Self?

[rlw74]

If it's used therapeuticly, is there a way to prevent someone from only including the good stuff? Like, a social media account only showing the wins, never the failures - a romanticized version of oneself. Unless that's the goal - to see the positives, for someone who engaged in negative self-talk our needs to set life goals. I think it's a brilliant idea and if done honestly can yield great results. It makes me want to put something like this together for myself.

That's a really good question. I don't think there's any way to guarantee that someone is honest, no. I think it would probably be more useful in a "life coaching" context (where someone is pretty happy, well-adjusted, etc. but wants help finding direction) than counseling, per se. It could maybe be used for the latter, too, but perhaps as a more open-ended project and not so much as a goal-oriented thing to complete.
