NEW! Official Facilitator Manual
The Story We Leave™ Certification is designed for independent contractors who wish to offer legacy-story services using the TSWL framework. Certification does not constitute employment, partnership, or agency with The Story We Leave™.
Certified facilitators operate their own independent businesses and are solely responsible for their clients, services, scheduling, fees, and compliance with local laws and regulations.
Important: The Story We Leave™ Facilitator Manual is a training resource for individuals interested in learning the TSWL Legacy Method™.
Certification is earned through successful completion of the official The Story We Leave™ Facilitator Certification Program, which includes instruction, assessment, and demonstrated competency in the manual.
Although very doable and simple, it must be completed in order to use the materials and protected trademark.
Now Available in paperback and digital!

Resources to prepare for certification
No counseling or therapy experience is required. This program is designed for compassionate individuals who want to help others tell the stories that matter most.
Every life has a story worth preserving. Become a certified facilitator and help ensure those stories are never lost.
Do you feel called to help others share their stories?
TSWL Facilitators never write someone’s story for them.
They guide, listen, and support.
They don’t need to be an author or editor — only a compassionate companion.
This Isn’t Writing Support — It’s Emotional Safety!
Certified facilitators learn how to:
-
create emotional safety and trust
-
support memories that bring tears, regret, or grief
-
guide seniors and dementia clients with compassion
-
avoid unintentional emotional harm
-
hold space without judgment, pressure, or correction
-
follow trauma-informed, ethics-based boundaries
This is not about grammar or storytelling.
It’s about care, connection, and safe guidance.
This certification empowers you to:
-
Lead meaningful workshops, family circles, or private sessions
-
Offer memory-keeping products and guided journals as part of your services
-
Support grieving families, hospice patients, or individuals wanting to reflect while living
-
Add an emotionally rich, purposeful dimension to your work
