Guided Drawing is a drawing and movement therapy. It introduces body-mapping with bilateral drawing on large sheets of paper as a self-guided, rhythmic process. It is underpinned by an archetypal structure that applies universal, formal elements, like a line or a circle or a square to structure the experience for clients. Using crayons, chalks, finger paints the process is less concerned with image making, but to foster the awareness of body memories. While these memories are always biographical, the therapy itself is not symptom oriented. Not the specific problem or crisis becomes the focal point, but the option to new answers and solutions as they are embedded in the body’s felt sense. Such sensorimotor achievements become implicit achievements that can transform even early infant developmental setbacks; they assist in finding an active response to traumatic experiences. They allow clients to rewrite their biography towards a more authentic, alive sense of self.
