Creating Insights - art therapy “It’s not what you make, it’s how it makes you feel” LW
+ Individual
+ Groups Art Therapy for me combines my two favourite things, art and self growth.

I have always sought ways to improve my own mental wellness to navigate my own challenges. In fact, followed this path to help myself and others. We all have our own story and with the right support and tools I believe you can make the best out of any situation you have encountered. What’s more, you can take that experience and grow from it. Art Therapy uses many different creative and expressive

modalities to access all abilities and offers an expansive opportunity for self discovery and healing. With regular exposure to Art Therapy, clients are able to tap into their feelings and state of awareness so much that they are able to self direct themselves through their own healing. This to me is like unlocking their inner strengths and a wonderful privilege to witness and companion. READ MORE about Art Therapy www.creatinginsights.com.au

It was so lovely to host a visit from a passionate upcoming art therapy student through a Japanese government-backed scholarship program called \”Tobitate! Leap for Tomorrow.\”

Bringing her own lived experience of doing art therapy as a child in hospital, she hopes to bring her love of art and origami to others too.

Wishing this delightful young person all the very best for a bright future.

Reflecting on yet another recent session with the wonderful participants MS Plus who continue to show up for themselves.

Many shared experiences and themes emerge from these sessions, offering a space to feel comfortable expressing themselves and relating to others.

Irvin Yalom has informed and inspired much of the pillars I adopt during group session’s including:

+ Instillation of Hope: Encouraging optimism through others’ progress.

+ Universality: Realizing one’s struggles are shared by others.

+ Altruism: Gaining self-esteem by helping fellow members.

+ Interpersonal Learning: Understanding and changing dysfunctional relationship patterns.

+ Group Cohesiveness: Developing a sense of belonging and acceptance.

WATCH THIS SPACE: I am in the midst of updating my website to include more group options.

Is there a group you’d like included? Be it online or in person.

Keep an eye out for my website updates.

SHIFT HAPPENS

I feel honoured to work with the wonderful participants from MS Plus ❤️.

Today we explored the unique gems of art therapy practice and shifted what we could release and enhance what we can expand.

Becoming more attuned to our needs through somatic awareness offers a rich experience and moves us into a state of flow to support healing ❤️‍🩹.

Im looking forward to sharing another experiential session together next week.

“It’s not what you make, it’s how it makes you feel” has been my motto for 10 years, and it still rings true.

Art therapy has a unique way to hold space safely, while offering opportunities for meaning making, through curious exploration of materials.

Some themes explored through these images include (in no particular order): family; friendships; special interests; portals to another dimension; frustration; love; support; perspective; confusion; uniqueness; flow; movement; letting go; making changes; gratitude; reframing mindsets; capacity and growth.

The materials and modality’s are reflective of the needs, stories, perspectives and guide new meaning.

The textures, smells, sounds and visions reflect an inner knowing and felt sense and help locate and move through tension, fear, confusion or doubt.

In art psychotherapy Joy Schaverien refers to this as ‘the triangular relationship’ between the client, the therapist, and the art medium.

Together they hold an important and unique role in the art therapy alliance.

Me! 10 years on from beginning my adventure into becoming and art therapist.

Proud of my little studio practice where east meets west to balance clinical practice and evidence based frameworks -alongside person centred, trauma informed, neuro-affirming care.

I strongly believe it takes different perspectives, radical acceptance, lived experience and continued development to balance the scales.
