How is making lists an important part of the author's journey in the memoir, There I Am: The Journey From Hopelessness to Healing?

Throughout the narrative, the author references how she has always organized her life and identity by making lists. The first steps of her healing process are defined by the making of a list of things she loves and once felt a connection to, and by the steps she takes to establish re-connections with the items on that list and therefore find healing.
