Both my mother and girlfriend are qualified art therapists (Hi Freud) but until recently I’ve never tried it myself.
Ahead of the upcoming Brighton connection workshop where we’ll be using it, I trialed a 15 minute exercise for two people to explore relationship. Despite some initial resistance and being out of my comfort zone I was impressed by how much was revealed in such a short space of time. Obviously I’m messed up and my lady is very lovely was the main conclusion 🙂 It was also nice using visual/creative side as opposed to body and language with I’m more versed in.
I’d recommend the exercise we did which had three five min. parts:
– taking turns to create and follow a line (pictured)
– a conversation with abstract shapes
– a conversation with less abstract images (pictured)
