Art Therapy Groups
I work with groups in an 8-week program I’ve designed for participants to reflect on and explore their relationship to 7 areas of life that are essential for experiencing overall well-being. Each session runs for 90 minutes. Participants work with materials to reflect on the following elements and their influence on their daily experiences, thoughts and behaviours.
The 7 realms are: connection to other people, connection to status and respect, connection to work or contributing that feels relevant and meaningful, connection to meaningful values, connection to the natural world, connection to a hopeful and secure future, self-care (ways to nourish and nurture your well-being)
It is crucial for participants in a group environment to feel safe to learn and integrate skills for self-reflection, self-regulation, self-expression, autonomy and agency. Together we create an experience that provides the necessary support for social and emotional connection, creative expression and integrating skills to discern and make fulfilling life choices.
This structured approach to group work is different to individual sessions. If a group of people wish to do group work with a more open and flexible approach similar to individual sessions, that can be arranged. If you have any questions about the program or working as a group differently, contact me and we can have a chat.
