About this event
ANGER – DISCONNECTING THE UNHELPFUL COMPONENTS:
When we encounter anger disproportionate to the triggering event, we may find ourselves unsettled by the intensity of this emotion. Anger, being one of the fundamental emotions, serves as a signal that a recent incident has infringed upon one of our core values.
Yet, when this anger exceeds the scale of the current event, causing us to feel a sense of loss of control, it is often the result of various subconscious elements intertwining. These components, lurking beyond our conscious awareness, forge connections between the present situation and past events, frequently unrelated to the current circumstances.
WHY USE CREATIVITY IN YOUR PRACTICE AND WHY DOES IT WORK?
Creativity bypasses the conscious mind and provides a pathway to the unconscious mind. And that enables feelings, thoughts, beliefs and values to come to the surface that would otherwise be hidden. It’s at this deeper level that the more profound and lasting work can be done.
When clients only use their conscious mind, they may be locked by their thought patterns and not be able to find the right vocabulary to truly express what is going on for them. And that means you may only have part of the story to work with.
Working with the ChrisLin Method and the frameworks we share enables you and your client to safely explore the client’s hidden underlying patterns that can then allow them to make new choices about how they show up in the world.
Awaken your ability to use creative techniques by experiencing and learning how to use creativity in your practice. And by doing so, receive some much-treasured time to reflect on yourself too.
“Love these workshops, I have learned so much and now feel so much more confident using creative techniques with my clients.”
All of the creative techniques we share can be used virtually and face to face.
Don’t worry, NEITHER YOU NOR YOUR CLIENTS NEED TO BE ‘CREATIVE’ to get the benefit from these workshops. No artistic ability is needed.
IT’S IMPORTANT TO KNOW: that you will be experiencing the creative Methods first-hand and working on yourself and your relationship with the topic. This way, you’ll feel the power of this approach personally and know how it can open up new thoughts and perspectives, so you feel confident about using them in your practice.
“I have learned so much from Christina and Lindsey over the last 18 months or so and today was no exception. I now use their techniques with many of my clients and love watching the clients moving forward, especially when they are stuck.”
PLEASE BRING: A4 paper and creative materials of your choice
Christina and Lindsey provide Training and CPD on The ChrisLin Method and believe Creativity deserves a prominent place in every Practitioners toolkit.
For all our workshops you will need at a very minimum, sheets of A4 paper, felt tip pens or coloured pencils. Plus scissors, glue or sticky tape if you have any items you want to stick on or glue together.
Other ideas: pastels (chalk and/or oil), paints, paint brushes, cotton wool, fabric, balls of wool, coloured thread, string, paper clips, elastic bands, straws, pasta (uncooked), dried pulses, sequins, beads, sea shells, stones, magazines with lots of pictures, e.g. holiday brochures. Things from nature such as pebbles or stones, sticks, leaves, seed heads, grasses, pressed flowers and pinecones are also good. The list of things that you can use on your creative work is endless. Start collecting!
We will not be telling you how or when to use things from your creative collection it is up to you to make the choice at the time of the workshop.
It would be helpful if you could have a little space around you so you have room to make your creative piece. If you have no space on your work desk, then perhaps a table that you could go to, as long as you can hear or see when it’s time to re-join the meeting.
We look forward to welcoming you on this workshop!
