Summary
As one goes through different experiences and stages in life, growth and change are inevitable. In the process of change, one goes through a metamorphosis of the Self. The purpose of this experiential workshop is to encourage participants to reflect on how much their Self as therapists may have transformed from their work and in their personal experiences. By reflecting on the Self of the therapist, participants will deepen their self-awareness and self-mastery in the context of the therapeutic process, and how this may impact the process of therapy with clients. This session focuses on helping participants build their own strengths and resiliency, not just to further develop the ability to self-reflect, but also to consider ways to adapt self-awareness for therapy with clients. This session will provide opportunity for participants to reframe experiences that may have been challenging and reclaim these experiences in a transformative artwork to feel empowered to look forward to future professional and personal growth, and the use of the Self in the therapeutic relationship with clients.
Who Should Attend?
This workshop is open to anyone who provides clinical work and is comfortable making and exploring their own images, biases, and strengths. Art Therapists, LMFTs, LCSWs, and LPCCs are eligible to earn CEUs.
CEU Learning Objectives
1. We will cover 2-3 perspectives about the process of change and its effect on the development of the Self as Therapist, and how to apply this work to uncover possible biases that may impact our work with clients.
2. Participants will gain insight into their own strengths and learn about 3-4 resiliency factors that may impact their professional growth, and how this may positively affect therapy with clients.
3. Participants will explore the concept of transformation within their own artmaking and be able to identify 2-3 elements of their reflective process related to therapeutic change and how to be aware of this in their own clients’ therapeutic art making.
Experiential Component
The presenters will facilitate an experiential art activity that will encourage participants to explore and discuss how one’s recent growth has changed in form and appearance of the Self. Participants will gain insight into their process of growth and change through utilizing found materials and wire to represent their inner transformation.
