A structured 16-week program that involves educating patients about complicated grief and how it's treated, exploring their grief reactions, complicated grief symptoms, and patterns of adjustment or maladjustment. The process encourages patients to hold imagined conversations with those lost, and to tell and retell the circumstances of the death, while learning to tell the story with less and less distress- a process called systematic desensitization. CGT has been proven effective for enhancing the ability to cope and process thoughts and emotions, focus on self-positive vs. self-negative reminiscence, and reduce feelings of blame and guilt.

This single afternoon workshop, on November 3rd, 2024, facilitates your access, through embodied language, to the transformative frontier between what now is and what can be. Through individual and group explorations, you'll access the sensations, gestures, and images ready to take you from "here" to "there." Neither stuck in stories of the past, nor bypassing the concrete realities of "now," when we write from the body, we engage in an organic process of dynamic unfolding. With others, you'll play, explore, feel, move, write, and access your intuitive knowledge about the next steps on your developmental journey. Join me!

Art Therapy Support Groups
How does art therapy work?
The process of making art allows people to express themselves. Art-making can take many forms, such as painting, collage, or sculpting. The therapist asks questions that the work elicits, such as how the person felt while creating their piece, or if any memories surfaced that they can discuss. The therapist will then work with the patient to process their experience, understand themselves better, and work toward change.
Does art therapy help with trauma?
Art therapy can be a valuable treatment option for those suffering from trauma. Traumatic experiences such as combat, rape, or childhood abuse can be so painful that articulating them can be too scary or painful; creating art allows people to express themselves without words, and tell their story in a different way. The physical nature of creating art can also help people feel rooted in the body, which may benefit those who feel disconnected from their body in the aftermath of trauma.
How long does art therapy last?
The duration of art therapy varies, but a common length for treatment is 10 to 15 weekly sessions. Some people may see improvement in just a few weeks, while others may choose to remain in therapy longer term. Patients should periodically discuss their goals with their therapist to make sure the two are aligned on process and progress.
What are the limitations of art therapy?
Art therapy is helpful for many people, but a limitation is that it doesn’t have as robust an evidence base as other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy. The evidence on art therapy is mixed; some research demonstrates its benefits, while other research suggests that it has little impact on patients.
