2016, October 8 & 9 Working with CHILDREN IN THERAPY SESSIONS, Gestalt approach






2016, October 8 & 9 

Working with CHILDREN IN THERAPY SESSIONS, 
Gestalt approach






Any professional in the helping services who wants to work with children, must take into account the child as a total system: the family, social, cultural and developmental factors influencing the child.

In addition, we must pay attention to the small or subtle details that the adults may not notice or may not understand about the child’s symptoms that are clearly obvious to a professional. For example, the manner we communicate with a child is to notice the pace, rhythm and assimilation of the content, as well as the meaning attribution to the play experiments during the session. This is a way of developing trust and safety during the session by clarifying anything that is happening between the child and the adult therapist.

 WORKING WITH CHILDREN IN THERAPY SESSIONS. A GESTALT APPROACH 

In this weekend you will learn:

Discover how deep traumatic experiences in childhood affect the adult client.
Uncover the truth why most traditional work with child trauma do not work.
How can you enable children to achieve positive feelings about their contacts with parents and society at large.
Practice art therapy methods and tools to encourage creativity in self and children.
How to be more aware of the several ways you may be able to with emotional wounds.

Days:
October 8 & 9

Time:
Saturday: 9:30 am - 5:00pm 
Sunday: 9:30 am – 4:00pm

Where:

2016, June 4 & 5 - Sand Play




SAND PLAY WORKSHOP




Sand play as a Gestalt approach.
Learn how to understand the meaning of symbols.

"Sand play is a form of therapy that gives both child and adult clients the opportunity to portray, rather than verbalize, feelings and experiences often inaccessible and/or difficult to express in words." (Jung Institute of Los Angeles). Sand play therapy, was developed by Swiss Jungian Analyst Dora Kalff.
We have a passion for Sand play therapy and we are respectful with this kind of work. Our interest is combining Sand play + Gestalt Art Therapy thus extending the Sand play work to Gestalt and Art techniques, incorporating the work with the empty chair, painting, sculpture, drama, etc.
Our focus is attending to the client's projections, re-owning projections, enhancing client's responsibility and working in the "Here and Now".

By this symbolic activity and through an active  experience, unconscious processes are made visible in this three-dimensional form, much like the dream experience.


 When:
June 4th &  5th, 2016


Time:
Saturday:  9:00 am -  4:30pm                    

Sunday:     9:00 am – 3:30pm

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 !
