FancyPants Posted March 9, 2014 Nope, whats it all about? Transpersonal Art Therapy is kind of like using art (as a means of medium) to find healing. Transpersonal refers to bridging the gap between the Ego and The Higher Self/Soul, and beyond. To sum it up I'll use an example: I've had to visit psychiatrists/psychologists before and found the experience absolutely useless and horrifying. I dislike talking about myself at the best of times, least of all in a sterile office with a stuffy suit on the other side of the desk either TELLING ME what I was feeling; being completely misunderstood; or just ignored as a person while they write up a bunch of notes (shopping list?). Using art (which at NO point has to be "good" or objective in any way) is a great way to release emotions/thoughts/whatevers without even necessarily thinking about it. The subconscious comes through a LOT and in these early days of the course I'm beginning to see just how much comes out in even the most seemingly insignificant way. Our job as a transpersonal therapist is to gently guide (without our own ego) the client to discover their own selves and become master of their own journey. Visionary Art is a subject later on in the course and omg I can't wait til we get into the nitty gritty of that subject! :D I actually think there'd be a lot of forum members here who would be fascinated in some of the ideas. There's a helluva lot of introspection for each of us and it can get quite emotional at the time, but I'm ready to shed my skin. 46 and 2 ahead of me. It's a bit of a vagina-fest in there so I think there needs moar noodle. The tutor looks like Engywook from The Neverending Story, and I really want to tell him he reminds me of a bong a long ago friend had. But it's a helluva demanding course so I really don't know how much time I'll have to visit the forum as much as I'd like! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
