Weekend Reflection: Preparing

 As I prepare to work with clients this week

I take the time to plan out my sessions.

What will be the focus in the groups?

What materials will we use?

How will I facilitate this?

From experience I know to not plan too much

since the real magic with Art Therapy is that

each session goes the way the clients need it to go.

I plan and prepare, but the secret is to let them lead 

and allowing the session to be flexible. 

Allowing this gives the participants the room

to share what they feel they need to express.

My job is to hold the space 

so they feel safe to do so.
