USING TAROT

IN A THERAPY SESSION

GESTALT APPROACH

We tend to project everything onto images before us. Our thoughts, feelings, and emotions, and make decisions based on our selection of a specific card. In this workshop, the participants will learn how to use Tarot cards as a technique to deepen their work with clients and find unconscious material in therapy.

This one-day seminar is an introduction to TAROT as a unique resource that helps bridge the worlds between Tarot and psychotherapy with clients and groups. You can make your sessions with clients more engaging and creative as well as insightful.

Discover how to lay cards in “emotional stacks “to find out what is behind the self or the surface of our consciousness.

Practice the use of imagery and symbols to develop a clear strategy for resolving issues.

This is a unique opportunity to experience yourself and your work with art and imagery as a source for creative renewal. Just like in any situation in life, artists, professional therapists, and health workers can put themselves under strain either from trying too hard, or reversely, not starting a personal process to motivate themselves.

You will learn:

How to use TAROT cards and art materials to enhance your therapeutic practice.

Learn the Art of imagery as manifested by the TAROT and the Houses of Astrology. C.G. Jung’s ideas will be a foreground for this creativity.

Learn how gestalt and process dynamics will influence your insights and become a more innovative practitioner.

Enable to offer your clients deeper insights on their life’s journey.

Integrate your art, your therapeutic modality and your practice skills to be more alive and passionate about your work and life.

No previous formal art experience required.

Saturday: 9:30am - 4:00pm

2016, March 5 Using the TAROT in a Therapy Sessions

Why not?

Gestalt Art Therapy Centre is using creative ways to offer professional support to Psychologists, Counsellors, Therapists, Social workers and social service providers who are working with clients in therapy sessions.

Using the Tarot with a psychotherapeutic objective is novel and exciting.

The reason being that the cards are associated with the Archetypes (Jung) therefore the work is directly relevant to the discovery of the unconscious material indicated in the symbolic images in the cards.

We tend to project everything onto images before us. Our thoughts, feelings and emotions, and make decisions based on our selection of a specific card. In this workshop the participants will learn how to use Tarot cards as a technique to deepen their work with clients and find unconscious material in a Gestalt Art Therapy approach.

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 !
