A process of transformation:
Expect the AHA moment to be profound. Intuitive color drawing is a therapy aimed at looking at and unlocking conflicts, traumas, and mental, spiritual and bodily dysfunction. It will improve the integration of the left and right brain function and can aid our personal development and can improve our health. It can help reveal our hidden potential and talents, and requires no artistic or drawing ability.
This work can be done by the individual, couples, families or general group work.
Karin is trained as an art teacher in Holland, especially interested in use of texture and colors. Over the last 20 years she increased her knowledge about the symbolism of colors. She noticed and learned over the years people were using certain colors and shades of colors for certain problems, or ailments and dysfunction in the body.
She uses several methods to make sure the client reveals himself on different levels. By also applying an existing counseling method whereby the spoken, written words and drawings are used. She lets the client overlay the work with the magic world of colors as indicators to reveal the underlying issues even more. The client needs to do the work himself. She walks with him and is trained to keep him save through this journey of self discovery. She will not always reveal the secret language of the colors, but it will deepen and accelerate the process of healing. This is a process of integration, of the left and right brain.
Once the client goes deep into his unconscious he can enter into silence, the place where he can find peace and grace. Drawing can reveal deeply buried feelings; this therapy facilitates interaction between the client, the paper and the therapist, and is especially useful with clients who are reluctant, unwilling or unable to express themselves verbally. Children in general respond very well to this type of therapy.
Talking is a left brain activity, writing, drawing and choice of colours are right brain activities. The right choice of art medium triggers the process further and more profound. Right brain activities access the wise, resourceful parts of the unconscious. Strong and often deeply buried feelings can be experienced, yet be safely contained and transformed, through this profound work of self. The client will start to feel lighter after the hard work is done. It is a powerful tool for resolving past, present and anticipated difficulties, hurts, separation, losses and uncertainties. This therapy allows the integration of lost, neglected or unknown parts of self.
Your potential and talents are boundless, just allow yourself to shine.
