Research reading is not my favorite thing... but if I have to read it, I guess it doesn‘t get much better than art, trauma and neuroscience. 🤷🏻♀️
Do any of my fellow thera-littens incorporate expressive arts into your work with clients? I‘m building quite a library but always on the hunt for book recommendations on using art/arts therapy.
Chrissyreadit I do not love this entire book but I love several projects I‘ve done in it with teens. 5y
Create Your Life Book: Mixed-Media Art Projects for Expanding Creativity and Encouraging Personal Growth
JenReadsAlot I do not. Maybe I should.... 5y
Scochrane26 I don‘t really know anything about art therapy & should learn. I do use coloring, play doh, LEGOs, & sometimes crafting with my kid clients. 5y

BlameJennyJane @Chrissyreadit oh, I just LOVE that book! I‘ve done several projects in it myself. Great idea though to use with teens!! 5y
BlameJennyJane @JenReadsAlot lol. I love that it uses different parts of the brain and body than traditional talk therapy but the supplies... ugh... and the messes... double ugh. 😜 5y
BlameJennyJane @Scochrane26 that‘s kind of how I got into it... just seeing how creative kids are using non-directive play therapy- LEGOs, puppets, play doh, sand tray, water play. I wanted to expand to teens and adults and trauma work and art is just kind of where I landed! 5y
