So I was browsing Amazon. I found a few art work books that double as psychotherapy,
the first one is a workbook in the zentangle style. https://www.amazon.com/CBT-Art-Activ...s=books&sr=1-3 https://www.amazon.com/Essential-Art...AGG7X9M63M5GBY https://www.amazon.com/Brief-Creativ...AGG7X9M63M5GBY __________________ Daniel L Newhouse |

Cool, I'm going to check those out. Thanks for sharing!
My t is certified in sand play therapy so I do sand trays sometimes during my sessions, and I've also worked with clay before and drawing one time. |

My T lets me use art in therapy and it is really helpful even though he is not trained in art therapy. We tried adding an art therapy T and I really like her but I triggered really bad every session so we’ve stopped at least for now. T still has permission to consult with her as needed.

I was in art therapy for 1.5 years. It didn't have much to do with colouring and exercises. It was Jungian based and we worked with archetypes, dreams, the unconscious, language. I get a bit agitated by people understanding art therapy as "ooo colouring is relaxing" or "complete these exercises to feel better". Art therapy is much more nuanced and the work is deep. I guess CBT is another ball game so maybe that approach fits with colour in a mandala and reset your negative thoughts.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
