INNER CHILD WORK

Working with the inner child in a therapeutic way through Gestalt Art Therapy is crucial because it allows individuals to access and heal unresolved emotional experiences from childhood. This approach integrates creative expression with self-awareness, enabling clients to visually and symbolically explore their inner world. Through art, people can safely confront and process past traumas, unmet needs, and suppressed emotions. Gestalt Art Therapy encourages a holistic approach, emphasizing the connection between mind, body, and emotions, fostering self-acceptance and growth. This therapeutic process can lead to a greater sense of wholeness, emotional healing, and a deeper understanding of oneself.

Who has never been a child?

In popular psychology and analytical psychology, the inner child is an individual's childlike aspect. It includes what a person learned as a child, before puberty. The inner child is often conceived as a semi-independent subpersonality subordinate to the waking conscious mind.

Psychologist Carl Gustav Jung (1875–1961) originated the concept in his divine child archetype. New Thought spiritual leader Emmet Fox (1886–1951) called it the "wonder child". The concept of the inner child was further developed by husband and wife team Vivian and Arthur Janov in primal therapy, expounded in the books The Primal Scream (1970) and The Feeling Child (1973).

During this day you will:

Work with the meaning of the "nurturing parent" and "protective parent" within "inner family work" to care for a person's physical, emotional, creative, and spiritual needs.
We will review the concept of the "critical parent within", and provide you tools for managing it.
investigate the unresolved childhood experiences and the lingering effects of childhood dysfunction: the sum of mental-emotional memories stored in the subconscious from conception through pre-puberty.
Through the Gestalt Art Therapy approach each participant will access, in a safe mode, their childhood memories, being witness to the stories of their origins in childhood, and participants will find some different proposals for the healing process.
Recovery and support of Your Inner Child using Gestalt art therapy techniques.
Review of the connection between Attachment Theory and the Inner child work.
Discover how the unfinished business of the inner child will be affecting the adult lives of your clients.
Support your clients in working with their inner child.
Work with your inner child, to be ready to support your clients' inner child.

Working with the inner child in counseling provides a range of emotional benefits for clients, facilitating deeper self-understanding and healing. Here are some key emotional benefits:

Emotional Release: Addressing unresolved feelings from childhood allows clients to release long-held emotions, providing a cathartic experience that can reduce stress and anxiety.
Healing Past Traumas: Engaging with the inner child can help clients process and heal from traumatic experiences, leading to a sense of closure and relief.
Building Self-Compassion: This approach encourages clients to nurture their inner child with kindness and understanding, fostering self-compassion and reducing self-criticism.
Rebuilding Trust: As clients reconnect with their inner child, they rebuild trust in themselves, fostering a greater sense of security and confidence.
Strengthening Emotional Regulation: By addressing and acknowledging deep-seated emotions, clients can learn healthier ways to manage and regulate their feelings.
Enhancing Relationships: As clients understand their inner child’s needs and vulnerabilities, they often improve their relationships with others, promoting empathy and authentic connections.

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 !
