Thank you Sally🙏
As an art therapist , ‘Supervision’ is a space to sift and sort, and deepen my understanding of my work and myself.
One of the benefits of art therapy that I value highly , is the ability to use the materials at hand , to express something so succinctly, and words aren’t necessarily needed ✨
And …when I am witnessed expressing whatever it is, without judgement, or opinion, or advice , I (can )feel a wave of relief,
a bubble of laughter,
an easing calm,
an explosion of insight and understanding ,
and …
I often wonder, what took me so long to make art?

the magic of : self expression, making art and being witnessed ✨🙏 🎨

Making art in a group has many benefits for wellbeing 🎨

one of the things I especially delight in, is the
SYNCHRONICITY

insights, shifts and transformation aren’t guaranteed, although

through the sharing of the art, the personal stories and the connections
and
being a part of the group
and sharing the COMMON HUMANITY

magic happens

in the process
of squiggling the crayons vigorously across the page
lines criss crossing
and
a scribble appears

I find peace

it may be fleeting
and it’s not guaranteed
but it’s a practise
expressing something
that is held
felt
brewing in my body and brain

and as the crayon glides or scribbles and marks the page
what was felt is now seen
something is transformed
a sigh of relief
my shoulders drop
I laugh

Why didn’t I do this sooner

Make art 🎨🍀🧡✨
