ART THERAPY REFLECTIONS: September 2012

http://arttherapyreflections.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html

Thursday, September 20, 2012.

ART THERAPY REFLECTIONS: January 2015

http://arttherapyreflections.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

Saturday, January 17, 2015. Some Surprises are not Good. A child's drawing of how she feels when she is surprised. So, it is any wonder that small and large surprises, moves or changes would trigger traumatic memories or fears?

http://arttherapyreflections.blogspot.com/2015/04/what-does-trauma-recovery-actually-look.html

Tuesday, April 21, 2015. What Does Trauma Recovery Actually Look Like? Recovery looks different for everyone. It is simplistic to reduce anything as complex as how people heal or change to stages, steps or phases. However, I have noticed a flow or pattern of how people go through their recovery process. Sometimes they repeat stages, stay for long periods in certain stages or even jump stages.
