What is a TVB© Therapeutic Vision Board

It is a creation using different materials such as magazine clippings, words, phrases, and even objects that may be significant with important symbols for you.

In this creation, as a "Collage" those ideas that interest the participant will be represented to capture their future wishes or dreams.

For example, getting a new job, a personal relationship such as having a partner, a trip or more economic income, among other ideas.

It is about “designing” your dream so that it can become a reality.

What is the difference between a traditional Dream Board and a the TVB© Therapeutic one

Our proposal is revolutionary because it addresses all aspects, levels (conscious and unconscious) in the creation of this board.

The traditional Vision Board focuses on the future, what you want to achieve.

With our Holistic approach, participants will be able to design their future based on other super important aspects of their lives related to approaches such as Gestalt therapy, Art Therapy, Family Constellations, etc.

What is a dream?

According to the dictionary, a person is dreaming when in is a state of rest that a person finds when they are sleeping.

From the work with the TVB© Therapeutic Vision Board, we will discover how to "wake up" to achieve this dream/desire/objective, what you want to achieve.

What parts does a Vision Board have?

Unlike the traditional Vision board (in which only the dream/desire/objective is captured), our TVB© has a super powerful structure that will help you "realize" and plan your future to achieve your Vision/ desire/objective/ goal/dream .

How do you work with the dream board from the Gestalt CAT© Art Therapy approach?

Steps:

· Meditation on what you want for yourself. Dream big!

· The creation of your board with Collage materials (through your selected the images we can see what you have chosen and what messages these images/symbols may be giving you) working " Here and now", with the Unconscious!

The commitment (Designing the strategies to follow in order to achieve your desire)

· Achieve the dream/objective, the proof obtained from your TVB©!

· (Once you have achieved your wish, in the short, medium or long term, we would love you to share it with us please!)

During this free workshop we will look at our past, present and future to create a future goal in a holistic way.

We will use Gestalt Art Therapy techniques and other therapeutic approaches that will help you "realize", make adjustments and achieve your goals "dreams"

· It will be a two-hour workshop, an exciting journey through your life, building towards the future.

· During the workshop we will guide you on how to build your Dream Boards, the steps to follow, the emotions to explore, the techniques to use so that you can achieve your future dreams!

For participation we will ask you to have the camera on, and that, once the board is finished, share your creation with us by showing your Therapeutic Vision board to the camera.

It will not be necessary for you to share your personal process with the group of participants, we will use examples from other people, so that the creation of the board is understood. You only need to have an open mind to create, understand and define the dreams of your future!

After the participation at the workshop, if you are interested in receiving the certificate of participation in this event, contact us via email requesting it please gestaltarttherapycentre@gmail.com (Read conditions of participation and requirements to obtain the certificate of participation)

· If after your participation in this Workshop you would be interested in working individually with your Therapeutic Vision Board, in a more deep way, and outline your process and final goals, you are welcome to book a Counseling session with us. See more information about costs here

Start the adventure here and now to design your future now!

Looking forward to having you at the event!

Cheers

ART THERAPY - A GESTALT APPROACH

Hello! Welcome to our creative therapy centre!

Here you will find everything related to Art Therapy using the Gestalt approach.

What is Art ?:

Art is genarally known as what is done by a person whose purpose is to express a message through symbols.

These symbolic tools can be music, paintings, sculptures, theater and so on.

What is Gestalt Therapy ?:

Gestalt therapy is a methodology within psychology that grew out of the research and work of the psychiatrist Dr.Fritz Perls and his wife Dr.Laura Perls.

These two professionals were coming from the psychoanalytic perspective and felt that this method was not enough to work with clients. Today we are clearly aware that no one single method can resolve the issues that involve a range of human suffering and growth.

Gestalt is a German word roughly meaning "Shape" or "configuration".

This concept is understood, in gneral terms, that all individual experiences are shaped by a figure and a background. As time goes on, and our needs change, the figure can become the background and vice versa. So in the client's experience, the figure is changing at all times from becoming a background and as the needs arise, the figure emerges seeking completion.

When we block or prevent this process, we become unaware and suffer. That is a part of the theoretical foundations of Gestalt therapy.

Gestalt therapy, therefore, is a "philosophy", a way of being in the world in the "here and now" and taking "response-aibility" without pushing the river. Thus life is a flow ..

What is GESTALT Art Therapy?

It is the sum of the two previous concepts, Gestal therapy and the use of tools we learn to use in art therapy.

Using the artistic tools and adding the gestalt language between client and psychotherapist we work jointly to decode the messages hidden in the intrinsic symbols representing the client's situation. The Psychotherapist accompanies the client in the process of "discovering" what is helpful and not analysing or interpreting, but suggesting and asking the client what it is he or she knows are the answers and supports client's need to discover the ncessary solutions.

WE ARE SURE THAT YOU WILL BE ATTRACTED by this new way of working with emotions, whether or not you are a professional psychologist or therapist, since many of the exercises can be used personally for your own growth.

Our work is done in Australia & Spain and other countries. We have given workshops and participated in conferences throughout the world. We are located in our offices at the Gestalt Art Therapy Centre in Brisbane -Australia.

BE HAPPY HERE AND NOW..... AND BE CREATIVE !
