Draw on Your Emotions

Product Information

g. why using imagery is a potent way of supporting children to process feelings - with very usable activities that ordinary people can use to great effect with their children or with the children with whom they work.

The cards are designed to capture the deeper truth of how people experience their life, offering poignant descriptions for what someone may be feeling. They can help promote a new clarity of thought as a first step towards positive action and bring seemingly huge, unmanageable and insoluble problems into a new perspective. Our trainees find the Draw On books very helpful in training and then also with their children - not just those children identified for special help.It offers opportunities to rehearse other ways of functioning by trying out alternatives safely on paper in exercises that can be adapted for any age range and ability. Draw on Your Emotions is a bestselling resource to help people of all ages express, communicate and deal more effectively with their emotions through drawing. This book might be better for someone working with adults who have some pretty hefty issues in their past but even so, I find the activities encourage rumination and negativity. I believe that using such directives for stabilized, long-term, outpatient groups or individuals would be more successful.
