How does one make a general confession?

I’ve seen several posts refer to a “general confession,” but how does one go about doing this? Can anyone make a general confession?

Thank you.

** Q. 829. What is a general confession? **

A. A general confession is the telling of the sins of our whole life or a great part of it. It is made in the same manner as an ordinary confession, except that it requires more time and longer preparation.
