The Transformation Journey has been designed for therapists to offer them Guided Drawing® intervention tools that are body-focused, trauma-informed and primarily non-verbal.This course teaches how as a therapist you can can observe your clients' bilateral movements on paper and support their therapeutic process through skilled interventions. Suggesting the drawing of certain shapes in rhythmic repetition allows clients to practice how it feels to do things differently, how they can safely express pent-up emotions, integrate lost aspects of their soul or strengthen a resolve without engaging in the narrative of what happened. Cognitive interpretations or insights are not the focus. Instead belief systems become updated – based on the bottom-up discovery of a renewed implicit identity.
The Transformation Journey
Objective:
OPD Points: 10
Outline:
Each week explores an aspect of the Transformation Journey and there are experiential exercises combined with lectures within the webinars.The training discusses two core client groups. There are those who need to strengthen their ego, become more aware of their behavioural action patterns, have to learn how to express emotions without getting overwhelmed by them and move out of chaotic life experiences into more structured ones. The other client group tends to be overly cognitive, often suffocatingly structured and disciplined, dissociated from feelings, or disconnected from the body and its vital life impulse. The need of this latter group is to become more connected, find an inner flow and discover healing and wholeness.
