Session Structure
- You may choose to start the session with a mindfulness exercise. It will help you focus and ground yourself in the present moment which facilitates self-exploration as the session progresses.
- Medium of Expression- The therapist will guide you in choosing a creative theme (and the art materials you need for it) that can best help you reach your unconscious and bring them to the surface.
- Reflecting on Imageries- You and your therapist will discuss the imageries you’ve conceived and projected on your artwork. Therapists don’t interpret their client’s artwork; they simply ask questions to guide their clients in reflecting on and articulating the meaning of their artwork.
