HELPING THE HELPER: DEVELOP YOUR CREATIVE SIDE
Counsellors, therapists, frontline workers, are often the most creative people, and the counselling process one of the most creative processes. When working with clients, creativity and therapy often overlap. What is creative is frequently therapeutic and vice versa. Yet therapists are seldom encouraged to think of themselves as either creative people or the counselling process as using a variety of imaginative techniques.
This workshop is designed to help the helpers intensify their connection with their own creative selves. The session focuses on factors which enhance their creativity and factors which inhibit it. We explore ways of dealing with a variety of social, cultural, educational, professional, and personal factors related to creativity. The workshop helps professionals find that place that looks at the world with new eyes, that speaks with a new voice, and that ultimately helps them work with their clients in new and profoundly healing ways.
