This book was released on 2017-11-27 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Healing Trauma with Guided Drawing written by Cornelia Elbrecht and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book A Coloring Book of Healing Images written by Ellen Lacter and published by . This book was released on 2014-11-20 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The images in this coloring book have been lovingly conceived and developed by the author and illustrators to bring healing to anyone who was abused as a child. The author has been observing, learning, and collecting "what works" for over 30 years. This book seeks to capture these healing approaches and tools and to share them in a fun and hope-giving medium-a coloring book. Each chapter begins with a page or two describing an aspect of healing. Next, most chapters include a list of ideas to facilitate that aspect of healing. This is followed by suggestions for creative expression. Then the coloring images are listed, each with a self-affirming intention. The next pages are a series of full-size healing images on heavy weight paper suitable for most art media. It is the hope of the author and illustrators that as the reader-artist colors these images and lingers on their meaning, all that they hold of value will be slowly digested and integrated into mind, body, and soul. Within each child abuse survivor are resources of intelligence, creativity, sensitivity, and wisdom which not only survived the abuse, but also likely developed in extraordinary ways because of the abuse. Our hope is that these messages and images will tap into these inner resources and help them realize their full potential.

Download or read book Trauma and Expressive Arts Therapy written by Cathy A. Malchiodi and published by Guilford Publications. This book was released on 2020-03-27 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "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"--

Download or read book Hello This Is Your Body Talking written by Lucia Capacchione and published by Draw-It-Yourself Coloring Book. This book was released on 2017-03-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book RX Color written by Shyla T High and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-01 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Improving Cognitive Function & Promoting Healing What is Art Therapy? Art therapy is the use of the creative process, in combination with psychotherapeutic techniques, to improve mental health. Art therapy utilizes art to enhance the physical and emotional well-being of individuals suffering from stress, traumatic experiences, behavioral issues, and physical and mental illness. Through art people learn to express themselves, increase their awareness of self, solve conflicts, and gain insight into their interpersonal problems. While art therapy is often seen as a free-form process in which a patient draws on creativity to produce abstract pieces, adult coloring books like the "RxColor Therapeutic Coloring Book" are becoming popular among therapists and patients alike. Designed specifically by a doctor for adults, "RxColor Therapeutic Coloring Books" offer a sense of structure in the artistic process, allowing for creativity while producing an aesthetically pleasing piece. Today art therapy is practiced in schools, senior communities, private practice, and education, wellness, rehabilitation, and community settings. Therapeutic coloring can be meditative and help quiet an anxious mind. People of all backgrounds and experiences can be healed with art therapy exercises: recovering addicts, patients with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), alzheimer's and dementia patients, trauma victims, patients who suffer from stress and anxiety, patients with a serious or chronic illness, mental health patients, and people who are seeking personal growth through therapy. "Dr. High has developed something simple and yet profound: a therapeutic coloring book for adults. This promises to help all kinds of individuals as they strive to do meaningful things in the wake of advancing age and physical infirmities that arise along the way. An exciting and positive idea that should bring joy and fulfillment to many, many people." - David Thomas, Motivational Speaker, President IntegriTalk
