1-2-1 Drawing & Talking
Drawing & Talking is a gentle, client-led, therapeutic technique that is based on Carl Jung's Play Philosophy, and is deeply rooted in Attachment Theory.
It supports the emotional wellbeing of adults and children, particularly those experiencing anxiety and difficulties associated the unprocessed emotional trauma.
This technique is available using either of two different mediums;
Pencil & Paper or Sand Tray (with toys)
Sand Tray
Age 4+
How it Works
Research has shown that traumatic memories are stored in parts of the brain not directly reached by talking alone.
Drawing allows the deeper part of the brain to be involved, especially the right-hand side of the brain where powerful memories are stored visually.
In this technique, the client draws or plays in the sand, allowing access to the creative part of the brain, and them to explore issues in their subconscious through the fantasy they create in the sand or on the paper.
Drawing and Talking is a 12 week programme, each weekly session is for 30 minutes. Ideally the sessions are on the same day and time, and in the same place each week, however, I can be flexible around work rotas etc.
Drawing & Talking has a planned ending, at session 12. You will never be encouraged to spend more money by continuing the sessions. This is where the attachment theory comes in, I commit to showing up for you every session, for the 12 weeks, you know it will end, there are no surprises, and we will both survive that.
There are options to work with me again in the future, either through a different service, or after a break of a minimum of 3-6months.
Price
The base price for this 12 week programme is as follows;
- Pencil & Paper - £360
- Sand Tray - £420
Discounts are often available, so please ask.
Emotional Trauma
When the emotional brain is overloaded it overflows and the distress gets stored in other parts of the brain and body.
This can cause;
- Headache or brain fog
- Tummy ache (butterflies, knots or bowel issues)
- General aches and pains
- Heightened emotional state
Don't be a statistic
If the client works through all stages of the intervention, they will find some kind of resolution.
This could result in improved mood, less anxiety, higher productivity, increased concentration or more presence in their current situation rather than re-living the past.
