One of our group supervisions in June involved making Wrap Dolls.
Led by Dana Roebuck, we had the opportunity to explore challenging relationships through the process of art making.
From the fabric we chose, to the instructions we accidentally didn’t follow, our personal feelings and stuck points became increasingly visible throughout the process.
Being in a group of therapists, we all got to share our analytical thoughts of each doll, and it’s amazing how spot on we were.
Experiential therapy that is rooted in the relationship is about focusing on each decision we make in real time - identifying reenactments and projections as they unfold.
The process of booking the first session can illuminate fears of change, trust, and feelings of worthiness
How one enters the therapy room can highlight patterns of avoidance, appeasement, or mistrust
How aware one is of the therapist sharing the room with them can shine a light on attachment dynamics
Exploring process is far more impactful than only sharing a trauma narrative - because the trauma narrative gets projected onto the relationship and becomes the map to explore what’s still stuck inside.
