• Mapping Inner Worlds Dynamically: Mobiles for Insight & Dissociative System Management

Cultivating Self-Compassion, an experiential intermodal expressive arts session for all counselors and therapists, offers an opportunity to build skills of self-compassion using imagination and expressive media. Drawing upon imagery and contemplative practice, participants will identify ways to provide self-compassion in response to emotional pain and difficulty. They will discover a creative approach to working with themselves and others to provide tools of self-compassion that contribute to healing and growth. Through the introduction of simple expressive arts practice, participants will consult their own inner knowing and be guided through a simple, nourishing experience that can easily be taught to their clients in treatment in virtually any clinical setting. Participants in this 3-hour virtual workshop will be invited to share the gifts that their images bring, connect within and in community, as well as witness their own and others' compassionate presence.
