Self-regulation!
During my art therapy sessions, I believe that self-regulation is so important.
I aim to ensure that you can explore a sense of relaxation and find what safety may mean to you so that you can apply this in their own life
One of the techniques I like to use is creaming!
Creaming is used to calm the nervous system and can only be beneficial if the client feels safe. You can use paint, liquid clay, PVA glue the list is endless!
I believe in letting you lead and explore your own self-regulation technique ❤️
P.s In this video I had been working with clients who seemed extra support
