Group Work and Advanced Knowledge for Older Adults

1 day (9.00am to 3.30pm)
£325 + VAT (per delegate)

A one-day programme providing participants with a deeper understanding of the therapeutic process involved in the practice of Drawing and Talking, and the theory which underpins the technique. You will delve deeper into Jungian Theory to explore the use of archetypes and patterns that arise in people's drawings, and learn about development and movement along the Ego-Self Axis

Participants will learn how to run group sessions utilising the Drawing and Talking principles. In a group environment, individuals become more aware of their emotions and develop an understanding of how to process them. Group sessions also serve as an outlet where they can share feelings with peers in a safe space and in turn build stable relationships knowing that others can feel the same.
