How can you actually make suggestions adapted to your therapeutic strategies, to the short format of a therapy session or to the client’s needs?

Drawing is very easy to implement because it requires few resources and space. Howere, I have often heard trainees or colleagues say they loved artistic medias but didn’t dare offer them in sessions due to a lack of practice or confidence. Such a shame to deprive your client of these tools when they can be incentives to awareness and putting words on sensations or feelings.

Here is a practical workshop where you will experiment 2 or 3 differents types of “exercices”. For mental health and social workers professionals who – need a toolbox adapted to the format of a therapy session
– want to get test and experience the effects of drawing before daring offering creative media in a session
– want to learn while recharging their batteries

For the workshop, you will need basic drawing materials. 5 to 10 white sheets of paper, felt-tip color pens, pencil, ballpoint pen, eraser.

Representing (the body, the social environment) / Understanding here and now with drawing / Self support to use out of the session
