Have you worked with doodling in session before?

This powerful yet simple approach can support clients to be present, relaxed, engaged and reset the nervous system: (35Mins + doodling time)

In this short CPD skills share, Tanja shares how she facilitates doodling and drawing in sessions to support clients to be present, to feel a sense of autonomic nervous system safety and to reduce stress. This in turn can help clients to feel more grounded and stabilised in sessions, especially if they are struggling with the aftermath of trauma, stress, burnout or anxiety. This is also a great intervention for clients who struggle with low mood, apathy and or depression as it can help to activate the nervous system to bring a sense of joy, connection and relaxation. This CPD was recorded as part of our '40 Ways To Be Creative Online Series'.

35 mins of pure therapy! I could sit and watch this all day! Really enjoyed the different ways this exercise could be done, and I'm really looking forward to trying this myself before I share with clients - thank you so much!
