24.01.2022 Today I spent an hour with my client unpacking their reason for thinking that they’re broken, and that their emotions are weakness. This is a 17 year old boy who has, in a few short years, internalised that his emotions can only cause harm to himself and others. A 17 year old boy, who like so many of my other clients, thinks there is no place for emotion in their world. It hurt my heart to hear that. These children and young people are brilliantly intuitive, sensitive to other’s emotions, empathetic, creative and unique. We need these children and soon to be adults in our world. After we unpack these things in a session, my next step is provide a place for them to make new connections. At @ourmindfulyouth I provide a space for discovery, and ultimately empower them to discover that their emotions aren’t weaknesses; they are a gift.
15.01.2022 Art Therapy focus: Spirit Animals Clients used clay to make an animal that represents themselves and were given the space to explore and discuss why using clay is a wonderful grounding (sensory regulation) tool, and provides the outlet for a client’s expression of the self.
