Book Description
Slow down, tune into yourself and relax while you color 20 beautiful coloring pages centered around the theme of recovering from challenging past experiences. Each of the first 13 illustrations in this adult coloring book is accompanied by a mindfulness activity or somatic therapy exercise that teaches you how to be more present with your body and self-regulate your own nervous system. These body awareness activities are not just useful for healing from trauma; they can also help to reduce stress and anxiety. The last seven illustrations are accompanied by messages that address various deeper aspects of the healing process. These seven pages of poetry and written word were created to be short meditations to sink into while coloring. The act of coloring itself is also quite therapeutic: When you engage in the creativity of choosing different colors, the rhythmic repeated actions of filling shapes with color, and deep mental concentration of coloring, your body calms down and you become more centered, making coloring a great way to practice self-care. Illustrated and written by artist Heidi Hanson, creator of New-Synapse.com Tools for Self Healing and The Art of Healing Trauma Blog.

Trauma and Expressive Arts Therapy

Author: Cathy A. Malchiodi
Publisher: Guilford Publications
ISBN: 1462543111
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 426

Book Description
"Psychological trauma can be a life-changing experience that affects multiple facets of health and well-being. The nature of trauma is to impact the mind and body in unpredictable and multidimensional ways. It can be a highly subjective that is difficult or even impossible to explain with words. It also can impact the body in highly individualized ways and result in complex symptoms that affect memory, social engagement, and quality of life. While many people overcome trauma with resilience and without long term effects, many do not. Trauma's impact often requires approaches that address the sensory-based experiences many survivors report. The expressive arts therapy-the purposeful application of art, music, dance/movement, dramatic enactment, creative writing and imaginative play-are largely non-verbal ways of self-expression of feelings and perceptions. More importantly, they are action-oriented and tap implicit, embodied experiences of trauma that can defy expression through verbal therapy or logic. Based on current evidence-based and emerging brain-body practices, there are eight key reasons for including expressive arts in trauma intervention, covered in this book: (1) letting the senses tell the story; (2) self-soothing mind and body; (3) engaging the body; (4) enhancing nonverbal communication; (5) recovering self-efficacy; (6) rescripting the trauma story; (7) making meaning; and (8) restoring aliveness"--

Book Description
The best thing about Art Therapy is that it doesn't ask for you to have the mad skills of Leonardo da Vinci or Picasso to be admitted and reap its benefits. Also, it doesn't have age limits. So it's basically meant for me, you, him, her - everyone! One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain. -Bob Marley The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls. -Pablo Picasso Dance is the hidden language of the soul of the body. -Martha Graham If I don't write to empty my mind, I go mad. -Lord Byron

Healing Trauma with Guided Drawing

Author: Cornelia Elbrecht
Publisher: North Atlantic Books
ISBN: 1623172772
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 345

Book Description
A body-focused, trauma-informed art therapy that will appeal to art therapists, somatic experiencing practitioners, bodyworkers, artists, and mental health professionals While art therapy traditionally focuses on therapeutic image-making and the cognitive or symbolic interpretation of these creations, Cornelia Elbrecht instructs readers how to facilitate the body-focused approach of guided drawing. Clients draw with both hands and eyes closed as they focus on their felt sense. Physical pain, tension, and emotions are expressed without words through bilateral scribbles. Clients then, with an almost massage-like approach, find movements that soothe their pain, discharge inner tension and emotions, and repair boundary breaches. Archetypal shapes allow therapists to safely structure the experience in a nonverbal way. Sensorimotor art therapy is a unique and self-empowering application of somatic experiencing--it is both body-focused and trauma-informed in approach--and assists clients who have experienced complex traumatic events to actively respond to overwhelming experiences until they feel less helpless and overwhelmed and are then able to repair their memories of the past. Elbrecht provides readers with the context of body-focused, trauma-informed art therapy and walks them through the thinking behind and process of guided drawing--including 100 full-color images from client sessions that serve as helpful examples of the work.

Hello, This Is Your Body Talking

Author: Lucia Capacchione
Publisher: Draw-It-Yourself Coloring Book

Book Description
With Drawing Your Stress Away and Hello, This Is Your Body Talking, art therapist and educator Dr. Lucia Capacchione presents a new concept in adult coloring: the draw-it-yourself coloring book. Forty years ago, Capacchione originated the Creative Journal Method to help clients and students reduce stress, heal trauma and unleash creativity. Since then, her research-based techniques have been used internationally in schools, counseling centers, support groups, addiction recovery centers, and programs for veterans. Drawing Your Stress Away and Hello, This Is Your Body Talking are a wonderful introduction to Capacchione's methods, which include drawing, coloring, and writing with the non-dominant hand to help the user shed inhibitions and rediscover the artistic spontaneity of childhood. Capacchione gently guides readers to use drawing for meditation, stress release, and self-care. In Hello, This Is Your Body Talking, simple breathing, drawing, and writing prompts encourage physical awareness and relaxation. Drawing Your Stress Away helps reduce tension through emotional expression, self-nurturing, and artistic discovery. Unlike traditional coloring books, which require fine motor control in highly detailed predetermined patterns, Capacchione's "anti-coloring books" provide the inspiration for users to make their own art; tune out their inner critics; and take the training wheels off their natural creativity.
