ANXIETY:
Anxiety is linked to people perceptions about what is going to happen at some time in the future. Join us as we unpack anxiety using a creative Method that helps clients explore the nature of anxiety and provides the opportunity to separate reality from unhelpful imagination or fortune-telling about something that hasn’t yet happened.
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.
