🌻 Here’s a little snap of the new resource I’ve made for clients.
🎨 Sometimes clients are curious to why we are doing certain activities. So I modified the expressive therapies continuum frame to be more user friendly and help clients feel informed.
📖 This shows the stages of the creative process, what materials would be most suitable for different presentations i.e anxiety, feeling safe in the body etc.
🖌️ The cards give suggestions for what activities to do, what materials to use. There is also a bigger explanation of the different levels and what part of the therapeutic process it is appropriate for - stability, processing, integration, sensory feedback etc. They also have questions to ask to support the process 😊
I’ve been using this with different Art Therapy prompts - it’s been great for session planning, helping clients understand what and why we are doing things (without bringing out a research paper) and enhancing the creative process ❤️
🌻 This is especially helpful for working with clients who require more support (cptsd or more complex mental health presentations). We can work together collaboratively and transparently to ensure everything makes sense and feels supportive.
I can do a video if anyone wants more info 🌻😊🌞
