INTRODUCTION 引言
The intention of my art therapy practice is to create a safe place for clients to experience and creatively express their emotions, as well as to cultivate new opportunities for navigating life. Art has been an outlet for me during turbulent times, and it has been my first defense when dealing with life’s challenges. Art is also a part of my daily regimen of keeping my life in balance. I practice what I preach. My mission is to support others in finding a way to connect body, mind, and soul through creativity. It’s incredibly satisfying to help a person realize their true potential and live a life free of suffering. As a registered, board-certified art therapist (ATR-BC), I run a private practice that provides these services to all age groups, both in person and online. My experience with adolescent clients ranges from working with at-risk youth in crisis shelters and juvenile jails to kids in public schools. I also have vast experience working with adults who have anxiety, depression, and trauma. Outside of my private practice, I have also worked in psychiatric facilities and women’s shelters. 我的艺术治疗实践旨在为客户创造一个安全的场所,让他们体验并创造性地表达自己的情感,同时培养他们把握生活的新机遇。艺术一直是我在动荡时期的发泄方式,也是我应对生活挑战的第一道防线。艺术也是我每天保持生活平衡的一部分。我言行一致。我的使命是支持他人通过创造力找到连接身体、思想和灵魂的方式。帮助他人实现真正的潜能,让他们过上没有痛苦的生活,这让我感到无比满足。作为一名注册的、经委员会认证的艺术治疗师(ATR-BC),我经营着一家私人诊所,为所有年龄段的人提供这些服务,包括面对面和在线服务。我的青少年客户包括危机庇护所和少年监狱中的高危青少年以及公立学校的孩子们。我在治疗焦虑症、抑郁症和精神创伤的成年人方面也有丰富的经验。在私人诊所之外,我还在精神病院和妇女庇护所工作过。
My clinical experience has been using the cognitive-behavioral art therapy approach to treat depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Cognitive-behavioral approaches, including mindfulness practices and meditation, are also a part of my art therapy method. Art therapy is a way for clients to visualize what’s going on in their mind and learn new ways to change their thinking patterns, which can lead to a new perspective. This book provides creative techniques for dealing with depression, anxiety, and PTSD. If you are a mental health professional, try the exercises yourself before doing them with your client. If you are doing these art exercises independently, give yourself time to reflect by journaling the discussion questions. 我的临床经验是使用认知行为艺术疗法来治疗抑郁症、焦虑症和创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)。认知行为方法,包括正念练习和冥想,也是我的艺术治疗方法的一部分。艺术疗法是一种让客户将头脑中发生的事情形象化的方法,客户可以学习新的方法来改变自己的思维模式,从而获得新的视角。本书提供了应对抑郁、焦虑和创伤后应激障碍的创造性技巧。如果你是一名心理健康专业人士,请先自己尝试这些练习,然后再与你的客户一起练习。如果你是独立完成这些艺术练习,请将讨论问题写成日记,给自己留出反思的时间。
My hope is that this book will provide a springboard for insight, selfexpression, mindfulness, acceptance, and self-compassion. Specifically, the exercises are designed to provide visual representations of thoughts and feelings. When people learn that they have control over their thoughts, and how they choose to feel, it will affect their behavior. Everyone can learn new ways to respond to situations in their lives. Art therapy isn’t solely for 我希望这本书能成为洞察力、自我表达、正念、接纳和自我同情的跳板。具体来说,这些练习旨在提供思想和感受的视觉呈现。当人们了解到他们可以控制自己的想法,以及他们选择怎样的感受时,他们的行为就会受到影响。每个人都可以学习新的方法来应对生活中的各种情况。艺术疗法不仅仅适用于
people with an artistic disposition. It can also be helpful to those who consider themselves nonartistic. Anyone open to learning techniques that foster self-awareness can gain something from the experience. 有艺术倾向的人。它对那些自认为没有艺术细胞的人也有帮助。任何愿意学习促进自我意识的技巧的人都能从中有所收获。
Those who are new to creating art should focus on the process rather than the product. To accomplish this, they must let go of critical thoughts because judging whether artwork is good or bad will stop the creative process. The act of expression is what is valuable because it provides insight into emotions and behaviors. Creating art to express emotions can be truly cathartic and liberating. Everyone should take the time to loosen up by trying the warm-up exercises I’ve included at the end of chapter 1. When an individual is open to looking inward and finding new ways to cope with life events through creating art without judgment, transformation happens. The world begins to change. If thoughts of judgment come up, just witness them and do not respond. They are only thoughts. Keep the intention clear to use these exercises to heal and to learn new ways to exist comfortably in the world. 初涉艺术创作的人应该把重点放在过程而不是产品上。要做到这一点,他们必须放下批判性的想法,因为评判艺术作品的好坏会阻止创作过程。表达行为才是有价值的,因为它能让人洞察情感和行为。通过艺术创作来抒发情感确实能起到宣泄和释放的作用。每个人都应该花时间尝试一下我在第 1 章末尾附带的热身练习,让自己放松下来。当一个人敞开心扉,向内看,通过不带评判的艺术创作找到应对生活事件的新方法时,转变就发生了。世界开始改变。如果有评判的想法出现,只需见证它们,不要回应。它们只是想法而已。保持清晰的意图,利用这些练习来治愈疾病,并学习新的方法,让自己舒适地生活在这个世界上。

Chapter One 第一章
WHAT IS ART THERAPY? 什么是艺术疗法?
ART THERAPY IS A PSYCHOTHERAPEUTIC APPROACH to treating emotional and behavioral disorders that uses art and psychology to help improve lives. Through the art-making process, participants can express their emotions and heal what is causing their anxiety, depression, or PTSD. Art therapists are master’s-level clinicians trained to create therapeutic relationships with participants to facilitate opportunities that will improve cognition, self-awareness, and selfesteem, and increase coping and social skills. The art therapy exercises in this book include an array of techniques ranging from making collages and textiles to drawing, painting, sculpting, writing, and photography. The exercises relate specifically to treatment goals and emotional needs. 艺术疗法是一种治疗情绪和行为障碍的心理治疗方法,它利用艺术和心理学来帮助改善生活。通过艺术创作过程,参与者可以表达自己的情绪,治愈导致他们焦虑、抑郁或创伤后应激障碍的原因。艺术治疗师都是经过培训的硕士级临床医师,他们会与参与者建立治疗关系,以促进改善认知、自我意识和自尊的机会,并提高应对和社交技能。本书中的艺术治疗练习包括从拼贴画和纺织品制作到绘画、油画、雕塑、写作和摄影等一系列技巧。这些练习与治疗目标和情感需求密切相关。
THE ORIGINS OF ART THERAPY 艺术疗法的起源
Art has always served as a way for humans to communicate. We can trace its origins to the first cave paintings discovered in Spain that date back thousands of years. The visual language of art still plays an important role in our daily lives. We are surrounded by images. Whether we’re walking down the street and see a crossing signal, or we’re navigating the Internet at home on the couch, art is everywhere. Art therapy is a helpful tool to make sense of the world around us. 艺术一直是人类交流的一种方式。我们可以追溯到几千年前在西班牙发现的第一批洞穴壁画。艺术的视觉语言仍然在我们的日常生活中发挥着重要作用。我们被图像所包围。无论是走在街上看到的过街信号灯,还是在家里沙发上浏览互联网,艺术无处不在。艺术疗法是了解我们周围世界的有用工具。
According to an article titled “Art Therapy” on the GoodTherapy website, the origins of art therapy were first documented simultaneously in Europe and the United States in the 20th century. Adrian Hill, a British artist, author, and art therapist, first coined the phrase “art therapy” in 1942. In 1938, while Hill was being treated for tuberculosis in a sanatorium, he realized the therapeutic value of art for the sick. He began working with other patients at their bedsides and wrote a book called Art Versus Illness , which documents his discoveries. 根据 GoodTherapy 网站上一篇题为 "艺术疗法 "的文章,艺术疗法的起源最早在 20 世纪的欧洲和美国同时被记录下来。1942 年,英国艺术家、作家和艺术治疗师阿德里安-希尔首次创造了 "艺术治疗 "一词。1938 年,希尔在疗养院接受肺结核治疗时,意识到艺术对病人的治疗价值。他开始在病床边与其他病人一起工作,并写了一本名为《艺术与疾病》的书,记录了他的发现。
The “Art Therapy” article also outlines additional contributors to the field. In the United States in early 1900, Margaret Naumburg-an American psychologist, educator, artist, author, and the so-called “mother of art therapy”-wrote about her experiences with psychotherapy and art. She wrote books alongside her contemporaries and sparked a movement to provide art therapy in schools, which led to the creation of university-level master’s art therapy programs. Hanna Kwiatkowska, a talented artist who worked at the National Institute of Mental Health, assisted families in improving their dynamics through art therapy. Florence Cane, an art educator, proposed a process-oriented art-as-therapy approach that focuses on ego support, identity development, and self-growth improvement. Edith Kramer advanced the field by establishing the art therapy program at New York University, where she was also a professor. Elinor Ulman was the founder of The American Journal of Art Therapy at a time where no other publication of art therapy existed. Since the first writings about art therapy, the profession has grown and become widely accepted as an effective treatment modality found in a variety of settings. Technological advances 艺术疗法 "一文还概述了该领域的其他贡献者。在美国,1900 年初,美国心理学家、教育家、艺术家、作家玛格丽特-瑙姆堡(Margaret Naumburg)被称为 "艺术疗法之母"。她与同时代的人一起著书立说,并引发了一场在学校提供艺术治疗的运动,从而导致了大学艺术治疗硕士课程的创立。Hanna Kwiatkowska 是一位才华横溢的艺术家,曾在美国国家心理健康研究所工作,她通过艺术疗法帮助家庭改善动力。艺术教育家弗洛伦斯-凯恩(Florence Cane)提出了一种以过程为导向的艺术治疗方法,该方法侧重于自我支持、身份发展和自我成长的改善。伊迪丝-克莱默(Edith Kramer)在纽约大学设立了艺术治疗项目,并担任该校教授,从而推动了这一领域的发展。埃莉诺-乌尔曼(Elinor Ulman)是《美国艺术治疗杂志》(The American Journal of Art Therapy)的创始人,当时还没有其他关于艺术治疗的出版物。自第一本关于艺术疗法的著作问世以来,艺术疗法作为一种有效的治疗方式在各种环境中得到了广泛的认可,并不断发展壮大。技术进步
have expanded the profession by creating access to information and exercises online. Today, we also use technology as a tool for healing. 通过在线获取信息和练习,拓展了这一行业。如今,我们还将技术用作治疗工具。
WHY ART THERAPY? 为什么选择艺术疗法?
The goal of art therapy is to use a creative process to gain self-awareness and self-reflection in order to gain personal insight and develop self-control over emotions. Artwork is a visual documentation of thoughts and feelings. These mental images can offer solutions to problems and insights into the cause of these feelings. These insights provide a starting point for accepting those feelings and learning how to create new responses to emotions. The long-term benefits of this process include improved self-esteem, richer selfempowerment, and the development of skills that can be used in the future to deal with life’s challenges. 艺术治疗的目的是通过创造性的过程来获得自我意识和自我反省,从而获得个人洞察力,培养对情绪的自我控制能力。艺术作品是思想和情感的视觉记录。这些心理图像可以为问题提供解决方案,也可以让人洞察这些情绪的起因。这些洞察力为接受这些感受和学习如何对情绪做出新的反应提供了一个起点。这一过程的长期益处包括提高自尊、增强自我能力,以及培养可在未来用于应对生活挑战的技能。
Research in the cognitive-behavioral art therapy (CBAT) field supports the benefits of art therapy. According to Marcia Rosal in her book Cognitive Behavioral Art Therapy, evidence-based research proves that the CBAT approach is the most effective treatment for anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The goal of CBAT is to teach an individual to adapt to different life situations by increasing coping skills and by learning how to adapt to the environment. 认知行为艺术疗法(CBAT)领域的研究支持艺术疗法的益处。Marcia Rosal 在她的《认知行为艺术疗法》一书中指出,基于证据的研究证明,认知行为艺术疗法是治疗焦虑症、抑郁症和创伤后应激障碍最有效的方法。认知行为艺术疗法的目标是通过提高应对技能和学习如何适应环境,教会个人适应不同的生活状况。
Art therapy can also increase self-esteem. Completing a piece of art can bring feelings of accomplishment, empowerment, and satisfaction to someone who is suffering from depression. By reflecting on the artwork created, and following the prompts in this book, insights into the unconscious mind can be gained. 艺术疗法还能增强自尊。完成一件艺术作品可以给抑郁症患者带来成就感、力量感和满足感。通过反思所创作的艺术作品,并按照书中的提示进行创作,可以深入了解无意识的心理。
Discussing the work also increases self-awareness. If someone is suffering from depression or anxiety, looking at the artwork and discussing it leads to self-reflection, which improves self-awareness and increases selfcontrol. Having more control over emotions leads to emotional resilience. Emotional resilience is the awareness of thoughts and what drives those thoughts. A person who is emotionally resilient has self-regulation and is able to cope with stressful situations. Self-regulation is about choosing constructive ways to manage feelings as they arise, rather than destructive 讨论作品还能提高自我意识。如果有人患有抑郁症或焦虑症,通过观察作品和讨论作品,可以进行自我反思,从而提高自我意识,增强自我控制能力。对情绪有更强的控制力,就会产生情绪复原力。情绪复原力是对思想以及驱动这些思想的因素的认识。情绪复原力强的人能够自我调节,能够应对压力情况。自我调节是指在情绪出现时,选择建设性的方法来管理情绪,而不是破坏性的
ways that often lead to regret. Learning how to take charge of your feelings leads to healing. 往往会导致后悔。学会掌控自己的感受,就能治愈自己。
Art therapy can help identify what causes emotional stress and develop constructive engagement for dealing with it. For example, someone suffering from PTSD will need to explore the triggers associated with their trauma. Creating art that recalls one’s memory is a cognitive process. People suffering from PTSD need to engage with what caused the initial stress and work through their emotions. By exploring these emotions and integrating them into their psyche, the person is able to process the life experience to reconcile their trauma. 艺术疗法可以帮助识别导致情绪压力的原因,并发展出处理压力的建设性方法。例如,创伤后应激障碍患者需要探索与创伤相关的触发因素。创作能唤起个人记忆的艺术作品是一个认知过程。创伤后应激障碍患者需要了解造成最初压力的原因,并排解自己的情绪。通过探索这些情绪并将其融入自己的心理,患者能够处理自己的生活经历,从而调和自己的创伤。
Art therapy also increases problem-solving abilities, as some exercises are designed to have you find alternative ways of handling situations. According to Rosal, as cognitive skills improve, problem-solving skills also improve. Rosal found that the creative process also enhances decision making. Throughout the art-making process you have many opportunities to make decisions when you choose colors, details, and layout. 艺术疗法还能提高解决问题的能力,因为有些练习的目的是让你找到处理各种情况的替代方法。根据罗萨尔的说法,随着认知能力的提高,解决问题的能力也会提高。罗莎尔发现,创作过程也能提高决策能力。在整个艺术创作过程中,你有很多机会在选择颜色、细节和布局时做出决定。
Group art therapy is effective because it allows participants to practice communication as a part of the therapy process, which also increases socialization. My favorite part of group art therapy sessions is when individuals discuss the meaning of their work with other group members. When the participant shares their story, it gives other members an opportunity to know them on a more personal level. The other members provide support by listening, giving feedback, and providing suggestions. The process creates a sense of connectedness and community. 团体艺术疗法之所以有效,是因为它能让参与者在治疗过程中练习交流,这也能提高社交能力。在团体艺术治疗课程中,我最喜欢的部分是个人与其他小组成员讨论其作品的意义。当参与者分享自己的故事时,其他成员就有机会更深入地了解他们。其他成员通过倾听、反馈和提供建议来提供支持。在这个过程中,大家会产生一种联系感和集体感。
Physical Benefits of Art Therapy 艺术疗法对身体的益处
Although art therapy has numerous benefits to mental health, it can have a positive effect on one’s physiological welfare as well. Stress manifests itself into our physical bodies every day. Physical symptoms may show up as headaches, backaches, tight muscles, shoulder pain, nervous stomach, fatigue, high blood pressure, overeating, or insomnia. Learning how to identify what is causing stress and how to cope with it will lead to a healthier lifestyle. 尽管艺术疗法对心理健康有诸多益处,但它也能对人的生理健康产生积极影响。压力每天都会体现在我们的身体上。身体症状可能表现为头痛、背痛、肌肉紧绷、肩痛、胃部紧张、疲劳、高血压、暴饮暴食或失眠。学习如何识别造成压力的原因以及如何应对压力,会让我们拥有更健康的生活方式。
According to a 2016 study by Girija Kaimal, art was shown to have a positive effect on participants’ stress levels. In this study, participants had 根据 Girija Kaimal 2016 年的一项研究,艺术对参与者的压力水平有积极影响。在这项研究中,参与者
their stress hormone cortisol measured before they made any art. They then had their cortisol levels measured again after a 45-minute session of creating art. A comparison of results showed that 75 percent of the participants had decreased cortisol levels after the art session. The most interesting part of this study is that the participants didn’t have any background or experience in creating art. The process of creating art helps you physically relieve stress, even when you don’t realize it. In my practice, I find that most participants enjoy the process, yet have difficulty making time for it in their everyday lives. 在进行任何艺术创作之前,测量他们的压力荷尔蒙皮质醇水平。然后,在进行 45 分钟的艺术创作后,再次测量他们的皮质醇水平。对比结果显示,75% 的参与者在艺术创作后皮质醇水平有所下降。这项研究最有趣的地方在于,参与者没有任何艺术创作的背景或经验。艺术创作的过程可以帮助你从身体上缓解压力,即使你没有意识到这一点。在我的实践中,我发现大多数参与者都很享受艺术创作的过程,但在日常生活中却很难抽出时间来进行艺术创作。
ART AND THERAPY CONNECTION 艺术与治疗的联系
There are two views of how art therapy can be used in sessions: “art as therapy” and “art in therapy.” Art as therapy is considered product-oriented because it’s satisfying to create a piece of art that is aesthetically pleasing. The act of producing the artwork is an end to itself. The creative process can foster self-awareness, boost self-esteem, and increase personal growth. For example, if I create a mug out of clay, the mug will make me feel good because I created it. Thus, my self-esteem increases. 关于如何在治疗过程中使用艺术疗法,有两种观点:"艺术作为治疗 "和 "艺术在治疗中"。将艺术作为疗法被认为是以产品为导向的,因为创作出一件美观的艺术品会让人感到满足。制作艺术品的行为本身就是目的。创作过程可以培养自我意识,提高自尊,促进个人成长。例如,如果我用粘土制作了一个杯子,这个杯子会让我感觉很好,因为它是我制作的。这样,我的自尊心就会增强。
The intention behind art in therapy is as a vehicle for psychotherapy to dig deeper into emotions and explore one’s feelings and thoughts. To continue my mug metaphor: What does the mug represent to me? What feeling do I want to achieve? How will the mug be used to deal with anxiety? I can make a cup of tea when anxiety arises. This book will provide many techniques for art in therapy. Art is a symbolic language that taps into the unconscious. Process, form, content, and verbal associations impart understanding about what is happening in an individual’s life. This approach helps resolve emotional conflicts, develop insight, and teach new skills that can be used to navigate life. 艺术治疗背后的意图是作为心理治疗的载体,深入挖掘情感,探索个人的感受和想法。继续我的马克杯比喻:杯子对我来说代表什么?我想获得什么样的感觉?如何利用杯子来应对焦虑?当焦虑出现时,我可以泡一杯茶。本书将提供许多艺术治疗的技巧。艺术是一种象征性语言,它能触及人的无意识。艺术的过程、形式、内容和语言联想都能让人理解个人生活中发生的事情。这种方法有助于解决情感冲突,培养洞察力,并传授可用于驾驭生活的新技能。
Art therapy is effective at treating anxiety, depression, and PTSD. According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), anxiety is a feeling that comes up in different areas of life, and often it’s a healthy and expected result. It becomes a disorder when excessive worry interferes with relationships, or work, or school performance. CBAT teaches different ways of responding to anxiety-producing situations. 艺术疗法能有效治疗焦虑症、抑郁症和创伤后应激障碍。根据美国国家心理卫生研究所(NIMH)的研究,焦虑是一种在不同生活领域都会出现的感觉,通常是一种健康和预期的结果。当过度担忧干扰了人际关系、工作或学习成绩时,它就会成为一种障碍。CBAT 教给人们应对焦虑情况的不同方法。
The NIMH defines depression as a severe mood disorder that affects daily activities for at least two weeks. Symptoms include sadness, irritability, feelings of guilt or worthlessness, appetite changes, difficulty sleeping (or excessive sleeping), decreased energy or fatigue, and thoughts of death or suicide. The CBAT approach addresses thought patterns related to depressive symptoms. Medication management combined with art therapy has been determined to be the best approach to treatment. 美国国立卫生研究院(NIMH)将抑郁症定义为影响日常活动至少两周的严重情绪失调。症状包括悲伤、易怒、内疚感或无价值感、食欲改变、入睡困难(或睡眠过多)、精力下降或疲劳,以及想到死亡或自杀。CBAT 方法针对的是与抑郁症状相关的思维模式。药物治疗结合艺术疗法已被确定为最佳治疗方法。
PTSD, as defined by NIMH, is a disorder that some people develop after experiencing a shocking, scary, or dangerous event. It is natural to feel afraid during a traumatic situation. The fight-or-flight response is a typical reaction to protect us from harm. Most people recover naturally, but some people will continue to feel stressed or frightened when they are no longer in danger. The CBAT approach addresses the traumatic event through different media. This enables the individual to process the emotions so the past event no longer feels overwhelming. 根据 NIMH 的定义,创伤后应激障碍是指一些人在经历了令人震惊、可怕或危险的事件后产生的一种障碍。在创伤情况下感到恐惧是很自然的。战斗或逃跑反应是保护我们免受伤害的典型反应。大多数人都会自然恢复,但有些人即使不再处于危险之中,也会继续感到紧张或恐惧。CBAT 方法通过不同的媒介来处理创伤事件。这可以让个人处理情绪,从而不再对过去的事件感到难以承受。
Studies have also shown that when people practice gratitude through journaling, they feel less burnt out at work, they sleep better, and they heal faster from health problems. A study from UCLA’s Mindfulness Awareness Research Center showed that gratitude promotes the function of gray matter in our brain, which has a positive effect on the central nervous system. 研究还表明,当人们通过写日记来践行感恩时,他们在工作中的倦怠感会减少,睡眠质量会提高,健康问题也会痊愈得更快。加州大学洛杉矶分校正念意识研究中心的一项研究表明,感恩能促进大脑灰质的功能,对中枢神经系统有积极影响。
INTERPRETING THERAPY 解释治疗
Interpreting artwork involves understanding all aspects of the art, and it’s important to be nonjudgmental in the process. Art is subjective, and each of us comes to it with our own projections. The most important part of reflecting on art is for the artist to verbalize their associations. For example, blue may be associated with sadness by one person, but represent a sense of freedom by another. Please note that professional therapists have extensive training and diligent clinical skills to provide a safe experience in creating and processing art. If questions or concerns arise when interpreting art, it is critical to involve or consult with a trained art therapist. 解读艺术作品需要了解艺术的方方面面,在此过程中不做评判非常重要。艺术是主观的,我们每个人都带着自己的投射来欣赏艺术。对艺术进行反思的最重要部分就是艺术家要说出自己的联想。例如,一个人可能会把蓝色与悲伤联系在一起,而另一个人则认为蓝色代表自由感。请注意,专业治疗师接受过广泛的培训,拥有娴熟的临床技能,能够为您提供安全的艺术创作和处理体验。如果在解读艺术时出现问题或顾虑,请务必让受过培训的艺术治疗师参与或向其咨询。
Whether in a group art therapy environment, or between client and therapist, an important first step is to ask questions before jumping to 无论是在集体艺术治疗环境中,还是在客户与治疗师之间,重要的第一步都是先提出问题,然后再跃跃欲试。
conclusions. Always ask open-ended questions to avoid projection or giving personal interpretations to artwork. 结论。始终提出开放式问题,避免对艺术品进行投射或给出个人解释。
Below are examples of open-ended questions to consider. It’s ideal to document responses for future reference. This can be accomplished by writing them in a journal or on the back of the art you’ve created. 以下是可供参考的开放式问题示例。最好将回答记录下来,以供将来参考。可以将回答写在日记本上或创作的艺术作品背面。
Questions to consider when reviewing work: 审查工作时需要考虑的问题:
How would you describe the image objectively (lines, shapes, objects, colors used)? 您如何客观地描述图像(线条、形状、物体、使用的颜色)?
What feelings came up as you made the artwork? 您在创作过程中产生了哪些感受?
How would you describe part of the artwork using the word “I”? 您如何用 "我 "来描述部分作品?
How do different parts of the artwork communicate with one another to make a cohesive piece? 艺术品的不同部分如何相互沟通,使作品具有凝聚力?
What do the colors mean to you? 这些颜色对你意味着什么?
What title would you give your art? What is the thought process behind that title? 你会给自己的艺术作品起什么名字?标题背后的思考过程是什么?
How does this art relate to your life right now? 这门艺术与你现在的生活有什么关系?
If your art had a message for you, what would it say? 如果你的艺术作品能给你带来什么启示?
In addition, there are several visual indicators to consider when interpreting art. They include: 此外,在解读艺术作品时还需要考虑几个视觉指标。它们包括
Excessive erasures 过度擦除
Use of space 空间的使用
Relationship of objects 物体之间的关系
Missing body parts 缺失的身体部位
Lack of hands or feet 没有手或脚
Marks on a body 身体上的痕迹
Line quality 生产线质量
Lack of color 缺乏色彩
Color associations 颜色关联
In the therapeutic relationship, it is necessary for the therapist to create a safe place for clients so they can build trust and open up about their feelings. Creating art can bring about heavy emotional responses and feelings of shame, guilt, sadness, anger, or apathy. A trained therapist will be able to navigate the session to encourage and support the participant to sublimate their feelings. If overwhelming feelings emerge while using this book, contact a trained therapist from the American Art Therapy Association website (arttherapy.org). 在治疗关系中,治疗师有必要为求助者创造一个安全的环境,使他们能够建立信任并敞开心扉倾诉自己的感受。艺术创作可能会带来沉重的情绪反应以及羞愧、内疚、悲伤、愤怒或冷漠的感觉。训练有素的治疗师能够引导疗程,鼓励和支持参与者升华自己的情感。如果在使用本书时出现难以承受的情绪,请联系美国艺术治疗协会网站(arttherapy.org)上训练有素的治疗师。
Guided Imagery 引导想象
Guided imagery is a verbal narrative that can be used to evoke feelings or develop problem solving skills. Visualization can be used to evoke the feeling of relaxation or peace, or to manifest something in life. Visualization can also be a tool to investigate how to cope with current situations. Most visualizations are done by closing your eyes and imagining a scene, then drawing it out. 引导想象是一种口头叙述,可用来唤起情感或培养解决问题的能力。可视化可以用来唤起放松或平和的感觉,或在生活中表现出某种东西。可视化也可以是一种研究如何应对当前情况的工具。大多数可视化都是通过闭上眼睛想象一个场景,然后把它画出来。
GETTING STARTED WITH ART THERAPY 开始艺术治疗
There are certain factors to consider when starting art therapy. If you choose to meet with a trained art therapist, it’s important to make a commitment to scheduling time for your self-care. Healing and self-awareness are processes of self-development that unfold with time. An art therapist will design treatment goals and exercises specifically to meet your healing needs. To practice any of the exercises in this book on your own, you will also need to consider your time, gather materials, claim a space for an art practice, warm up to creating, and choose an activity that resonates with you. I prefer to start my practice with a centering meditation to ground myself. This allows me to stay focused on my art. 开始艺术治疗时需要考虑一些因素。如果你选择与训练有素的艺术治疗师见面,就必须承诺为自我保健安排时间。治疗和自我认识是一个随着时间推移而不断发展的过程。艺术治疗师会专门设计治疗目标和练习,以满足您的治疗需求。要自己练习本书中的任何练习,你还需要考虑你的时间、收集材料、为艺术练习申请空间、为创作热身,并选择一项能引起你共鸣的活动。我更喜欢在开始练习时进行中心冥想,让自己处于中心位置。这能让我专注于我的艺术。
Supplies 用品
To start practicing art therapy, you will need a variety of nontoxic materials. For drawing, it’s essential to have an assortment of pencils, colored pencils, oil pastels, charcoal, and colored markers. For painting, I prefer watercolors and acrylics since they dry quickly and are easy to clean up. I do not recommend oil paints. They take much longer to dry and can contain toxic additives. They also require solvents to clean up. Here’s a complete list of items you’ll need for the exercises in this book: 要开始进行艺术治疗,你需要各种无毒材料。在绘画方面,铅笔、彩色铅笔、油画棒、木炭和彩色记号笔是必不可少的。对于绘画,我更喜欢水彩和丙烯颜料,因为它们干得快,而且容易清理。我不推荐油画颜料。油画颜料的干燥时间更长,而且可能含有有毒添加剂。它们还需要溶剂来清理。以下是本书练习中所需物品的完整清单:

HEALTHY HEALING PLACE 健康疗养地
It’s incredibly important to have a safe, inviting space for art therapy sessions. An ideal space is private, has a window for natural lighting, a nice table to work on, and a plethora of art materials. For a group setting, 拥有一个安全、温馨的艺术治疗空间是非常重要的。一个理想的空间应该是私密的,有一扇可以自然采光的窗户,一张可以工作的漂亮桌子,以及大量的艺术材料。对于集体治疗
participants should sit in a circle around a large table to increase communication and cohesion of the group. The therapist should have all materials ready before starting the exercise. Keeping the materials in the middle of the table makes it easy to share. If practicing these exercises solo, find a place with limited distractions. Placing a “Do Not Disturb” sign in the space can be helpful. 参与者应围着一张大桌子坐成一圈,以增加交流和小组的凝聚力。治疗师应在练习开始前准备好所有材料。将材料放在桌子中间便于分享。如果是单独练习这些练习,应找一个分心少的地方。在场地内放置一个 "请勿打扰 "的标志可能会有所帮助。
If a person is doing the art exercises independently, I highly recommend a session with an art therapist to process the varied thoughts and emotions. The therapist will provide insight and reflection that might be difficult to see alone. Therapists may also offer online sessions as well as in-person appointments. When they do offer online sessions, they meet on a HIPPAcompliant platform, which means your session stays confidential. 如果一个人独立完成艺术练习,我强烈建议他与艺术治疗师进行一次会话,以处理各种想法和情绪。治疗师会提供独自一人可能难以看到的洞察力和反思。治疗师也可以提供在线治疗和面对面预约。当他们提供在线治疗时,他们会在一个符合 HIPPA 标准的平台上进行会面,这意味着您的治疗会得到保密。
WARM-UPS/MENTAL STRETCHING 热身/心理拉伸
The following warm-ups are a great way to loosen up and practice expression before starting a longer exercise. Sometimes people are intimidated by a blank sheet of paper. Warm-up exercises can break down this barrier and encourage the relaxation process. I recommend that at least one of these warm-ups be completed daily. By practicing healing rituals a few minutes each day people can learn new habits for promoting positive mental health. 在开始较长的练习之前,下面的热身运动是放松和练习表达的好方法。有时,人们会被一张白纸吓到。热身练习可以打破这种障碍,促进放松过程。我建议每天至少做一次这样的热身运动。通过每天几分钟的治疗仪式练习,人们可以学会促进积极心理健康的新习惯。

PAINTING AND DRAWING 绘画
DRAWING AND PAINTING ARE GREAT WAYS to tap into your creativity. Drawing with pencils and pens provides structure and control, while painting with a paint brush is fluid and loose. Both techniques can be used to express your emotions. Keep a sketchbook on hand to draw your surroundings, capture inspiring ideas, or document your feelings. It’s a great way to keep track of your emotions and the stimuli that trigger those emotions. 绘画和油画是发掘创造力的好方法。用铅笔和钢笔作画可以提供结构和控制,而用画笔作画则流畅而松散。这两种技巧都可以用来表达你的情感。随身携带一本素描本,用来描绘周围的环境、捕捉灵感或记录自己的感受。这是记录自己的情绪和引发这些情绪的刺激的好方法。
Animal Guides 动物指南
Drawing animal images helps stimulate inspiration and comfort. But, most important, the animals you choose to draw provide insights and important messages about yourself. A drawing of an animal can signify who you are in the moment or who you might become. Each animal has strengths and characteristics that you can relate to. I once had a client choose a turtle and relate it to moving slowly through life. Yet, when we discussed the turtle further, she began to realize that moving slowly is not necessarily a negative characteristic. It’s a way to stop the rush and enjoy life’s little moments. 绘制动物形象有助于激发灵感和慰藉心灵。但最重要的是,你选择画的动物能让你对自己有更深入的了解,并传递重要的信息。一幅动物图画可以代表当下的你,也可以代表未来的你。每种动物都有与你相关的优点和特点。曾经有一位客户选择了一只乌龟,并把它与缓慢前行的人生联系在一起。然而,当我们进一步讨论这只乌龟时,她开始意识到,行动缓慢并不一定是一种负面特征。这是一种停止匆忙、享受生活点滴的方式。

Feeling Wheel 感觉轮
A first step in emotional regulation can be connecting with an emotion on the Feeling Wheel. Identifying current emotions is important to the development of self-awareness. This exercise will assist you in recognizing your emotions by naming and discussing them. If you’re struggling with expressing a particular emotion, you might want to start with one of these emotions to see what resonates with you: happiness, joy, sadness, apathy, boredom, anger, rage, frustration, love, shock, anxiety, or disgust. 情绪调节的第一步可以是与 "感觉轮 "上的某种情绪建立联系。识别当前的情绪对于培养自我意识非常重要。本练习将通过命名和讨论情绪来帮助你认识自己的情绪。如果你在表达某种情绪时遇到困难,不妨从这些情绪中的一种开始,看看什么能引起你的共鸣:幸福、快乐、悲伤、冷漠、无聊、愤怒、愤怒、沮丧、爱、震惊、焦虑或厌恶。

Emotional Landscape 情感景观
An emotional landscape is a metaphor for how you feel. This is an opportunity to explore your feelings in a symbolic way. How do your current emotions translate into a scene? Think of your landscape as having a background, middle ground, and foreground. Be creative with your visualization. Your emotional landscape could be rolling hills, mountains, raging seas, barren desert, or a lush garden. Your emotional landscape may also vary on a daily or weekly basis. 情感景观隐喻了你的感受。这是一个以象征的方式探索你的感受的机会。你当前的情绪如何转化为场景?把你的风景想象成有背景、中景和前景。想象时要有创意。你的情感风景可以是连绵起伏的山峦、高山、波涛汹涌的大海、荒芜的沙漠,也可以是郁郁葱葱的花园。你的情感风景也可以每天或每周变化。

Bridge Drawing 桥梁图纸
A bridge is a figure of stability and connection. It’s a symbol of where you want to go, how you’re going to get there, and what obstacles you may have to overcome along the way. Bridges are made of different materials (concrete, steel, wood, and rope) that can affect the journey over the bridge. Imagine the first step taken onto a solid concrete bridge versus the first step onto a rope bridge. Before starting this exercise, consider the material your bridge will be made from. 桥是稳定和连接的象征。它象征着你想要去的地方,你将如何到达那里,以及沿途你可能需要克服的障碍。桥梁由不同的材料(混凝土、钢材、木材和绳索)制成,这些材料都会影响过桥的旅程。想象一下,你踏上坚实的混凝土桥的第一步与踏上绳索桥的第一步有什么不同。在开始这个练习之前,请考虑一下你的桥将由哪种材料制成。

Safe Place 安全场所
Creating a safe place on paper can assist you in relieving anxiety when you experience a trigger. A trigger is a noise, smell, or sight that makes you feel panicked because it’s associated with a negative experience. A trauma trigger is a stimulus that transports you back to the original trauma. Triggers are different for everyone. The Safe Place drawing can be used as a visual image to help you think of a safe space when triggers occur. The purpose of creating a safe place is to allow you to relax and bring feelings of security to mind. If your trauma was too intense and you find it difficult to think of an image of a safe place, try using a metaphor. Examples include a sunset, a beach scene, or a clubhouse. 在纸上创建一个安全的地方,可以帮助你在遇到触发点时缓解焦虑。触发器是一种让你感到恐慌的声音、气味或景象,因为它与你的负面经历有关。创伤触发器是一种能让你回到最初创伤的刺激。每个人的触发点都不同。安全地带 "图画可以作为一种视觉形象,帮助您在出现触发因素时想到一个安全的空间。创建安全空间的目的是让你放松,让安全感涌上心头。如果你的心理创伤过于强烈,很难想象出一个安全的地方,可以尝试使用隐喻。例如日落、海滩景色或会所。

Are you holding stress in a certain area? Which parts of yourself do you like? One of my clients who wanted to have a gender confirmation surgery painted large horizontal lines over her chest.

She was also able to find areas of her body that she still loved. 这个练习会告诉你如何用身体的不同部位来表达你的感受。它还会帮助你认识到自己对身体不同部位的感受。你是否在某个部位承受着压力?你喜欢自己的哪个部位?我的一位客户想要做性别确认手术,她在胸前画了很大的横线。这让她有机会表达自己对目前身体的不满,并引发了一场关于她希望在未来做出改变的对话。她还找到了自己仍然喜爱的身体部位。

Levels of Anxiety. 焦虑程度。
Anxiety is a natural response to stress. Mild anxiety involves an uneasy feeling in your stomach and a slight increase in your pulse. Moderate anxiety involves placing your complete attention on the thing or situation that’s making you feel anxious and ignoring everything else around you. Severe anxiety involves repeated episodes of sudden feelings of intense stress and terror that reach a peak within minutes (panic attacks). You may have feelings of impending doom, shortness of breath, chest pain, or heart palpitations. By reviewing and exploring these different levels of anxiety you can learn to understand the emotion and take steps to deal with it constructively. Use imagery that is personal for you and your own levels of anxiety. 焦虑是对压力的一种自然反应。轻度焦虑包括胃部不适和脉搏轻微加快。中度焦虑是指将全部注意力放在让您感到焦虑的事物或情况上,而忽略周围的一切。重度焦虑包括反复发作的突发性强烈紧张和恐惧感,并在几分钟内达到顶峰(恐慌症发作)。您可能会感到大祸临头、呼吸急促、胸痛或心悸。通过回顾和探索这些不同程度的焦虑,你可以学会理解这种情绪,并采取措施建设性地应对它。使用适合你和你自身焦虑程度的意象。

Safe Place Imagery 安全场所图像
PTSD results from surviving a traumatic event. Threatening experiences like war, abuse, or neglect leave traces that get stuck in our memories, emotions, and bodily experiences. When triggered, PTSD causes symptoms such as re-experiencing the trauma, feelings of panic or anxiety, touchiness or reactivity, memory lapses, and numbness or dissociation. Creating a safe place through imagery can help relieve the symptoms of anxiety related to PTSD. Look for spaces and places to photograph that feel safe for you. Be open to creating your own space, if needed. Photo subjects may include a friend, a yoga studio, or a quiet space in a room. 创伤后应激障碍是在创伤事件中幸存下来的结果。战争、虐待或忽视等威胁性经历会在我们的记忆、情绪和身体体验中留下痕迹。一旦被触发,创伤后应激障碍就会导致一些症状,如重新体验创伤、恐慌或焦虑感、触动或反应性、记忆缺失、麻木或分离。通过想象创造一个安全的地方有助于缓解与创伤后应激障碍有关的焦虑症状。寻找让你感觉安全的空间和地点进行拍摄。如果需要,也可以创造自己的空间。拍摄对象可以是朋友、瑜伽室或房间中的安静空间。

Chapter Four 第四章
SCULPTING AND TEXTILES 雕塑和纺织品
A SCULPTURE IS A THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECT that can be viewed from different angles. The best part of working in three dimensions is the hands-on tactile approach to the creative process. In this chapter, you’ll be using a variety of materials-including clay, found objects, plaster, and items from nature-as a way to connect with your emotions. 雕塑是一种可以从不同角度观察的三维物体。以三维空间进行创作的最大好处就是在创作过程中可以亲手触摸。在本章中,你将使用各种材料--包括粘土、现成物品、石膏和大自然中的物品--来表达你的情感。
Feeling Sculpture 感觉雕塑
The Feeling Sculpture allows you to use your feeling senses to create an abstract shape. This exercise is not about what you create, but about the practice of using your senses. The feeling you have when you squeeze and pinch the clay is an extension of your current emotional state. Working with the clay allows you to objectify what you’re feeling. Clients tell me this exercise allows them to pull their emotions outside of their body and, as a result, they feel lighter because they aren’t carrying their emotions inside. 感觉雕塑 "让你用感觉创造一个抽象的形状。这项练习不在于你创造了什么,而在于练习如何运用你的感官。挤压和捏揉粘土时的感觉是你当前情绪状态的延伸。使用粘土可以将你的感觉客观化。客户告诉我,这种练习能让他们把情绪拉出体外,因此,他们感觉轻松了许多,因为他们没有把情绪放在心里。

Tin Man Expression 铁皮人的表情
The Tin Man Expression is about making a figure to express how you exist in the world. Body language holds emotion. Would your tin man be curled up with arms folded, stand tall with arms out, or sit quietly? Creating a figure related to body language has helped my clients become more aware of their posture throughout the day. It helps improve your awareness of the message you’re projecting to others, the message you’re sending to yourself, and how you can alter that message by changing your body. For example, if you want to project power or convince yourself that you’re powerful at any time, you might stand up with your hands on your hips. 铁皮人表达法是通过塑造人物形象来表达你在这个世界上的存在方式。肢体语言蕴含着情感。你的铁皮人是蜷缩着双臂,还是高高地站立着伸出双臂,还是安静地坐着?创造一个与肢体语言相关的人物形象,能帮助我的客户更加注意自己一天中的姿势。它有助于提高你对自己向他人传递的信息、向自己发出的信息以及如何通过改变身体来改变信息的认识。例如,如果你想随时展现自己的力量或让自己相信自己是强大的,你可以站起来双手叉腰。

Mask Making 面具制作
Mask making is a way to express what we reveal or conceal to the world. The outside of the mask can reflect how we see ourselves or what we show people. The inside of the mask can be a container for our emotions. We may be hiding emotions that are socially unacceptable, such as anger, greed, jealousy, or shame. The mask allows us to express the emotions that we have been repressing. There are two ways to approach this exercise and both sets of directions are listed below. The goal of the first exercise is to add a new coping skill for dealing with strong emotions. The goal of the second exercise is to make your current emotions visible. 制作面具是一种向世界表达我们所揭示或隐藏的东西的方式。面具的外表可以反映我们如何看待自己,或者我们向人们展示了什么。面具的内部可以是我们情绪的容器。我们可能会隐藏一些不被社会接受的情绪,比如愤怒、贪婪、嫉妒或羞耻。面具可以让我们表达一直压抑的情绪。这个练习有两种方法,下面列出了这两种方法的方向。第一个练习的目的是增加一种应对强烈情绪的新技能。第二个练习的目的是让你当前的情绪显露出来。

Family Sculpture 家庭雕塑
Your upbringing shapes your beliefs and your view of the world as an adult. It’s important to explore the roles people played in your life in order to gain insight into your family dynamics. Were the relationships significant, supporting, or challenging? To explore the emotional dynamics and roles within your family, you’ll make a clay representation of each family member-mother, father, siblings, and any other close or influential family members. 你的成长经历塑造了你成年后的信仰和世界观。探究人们在你生命中所扮演的角色对于深入了解你的家庭动态非常重要。这些关系是重要的、支持性的,还是具有挑战性的?为了探索家庭中的情感动态和角色,你要用粘土表现每个家庭成员--母亲、父亲、兄弟姐妹以及其他亲密或有影响力的家庭成员。
BENEFIT:

Anger Painbody. 愤怒的痛苦体。
Emotional pain can be highly destructive if not channeled appropriately. Over time, the holding of negative emotions creates a painbody. I first heard about the painbody from Eckhart Tolle. He says that a painbody is created when we keep and hold onto painful life experiences and neglect to let them go. When we hold onto those negative feelings, we create an energy form of that pain in our body. When that happens to us many times over many years, our painbody grows and festers. In order to heal this energy, we must be able to separate ourselves from the emotion. With this exercise, you will create a clay figure that represents your painbody so you can let go of the emotional pain. 如果疏导不当,情绪上的痛苦会产生巨大的破坏力。随着时间的推移,负面情绪的累积会形成一个 "痛苦体"。我第一次听说 "痛苦体 "是从埃克哈特-托尔那里。他说,当我们对痛苦的生活经历耿耿于怀,而忽略了让它们释怀时,痛苦体就产生了。当我们紧紧抓住那些负面情绪不放时,就会在体内形成一种痛苦的能量形式。当这种情况多年来多次发生在我们身上时,我们的 "痛苦体 "就会不断增长和发酵。为了治愈这种能量,我们必须能够将自己从情绪中分离出来。通过这个练习,你将创造一个代表你痛苦体的泥人,这样你就能释放情绪上的痛苦。

Prayer Flags 祈祷旗
Prayer flags date back thousands of years to Tibet and Buddhism traditions of block-printed squares with Buddhist imagery. They always incorporate the same five colors, and are hung in the same sequence in groups of 10. The colors represent the five basic elements and should always be hung in order from left to right. Blue is the symbol for space, white for air, red for fire, green for water, and yellow for earth. You can dedicate each piece of cloth to something significant to you. Dedications can be for things like healing, love, friendships, self-care, and self-empowerment. 祈祷旗可追溯到数千年前的西藏和佛教传统,是印有佛教图像的方块图案。它们总是包含相同的五种颜色,并以相同的顺序悬挂,每 10 面为一组。这五种颜色代表五种基本元素,悬挂时应从左到右依次排列。蓝色代表空间,白色代表空气,红色代表火,绿色代表水,黄色代表土。您可以将每块布献给对您有重要意义的事物。可以是治疗、爱情、友谊、自我保健和自我赋权。

A dream box is a tool to set intentions for what you want to bring into your life. It’s very similar to a vision board! Choose one intention and find images to represent how it would appear visually. Instead of images, you could use a transitional object and store that in the box. A transitional object is something that brings you comfort, especially in unusual or unique situations.

Healing Heart 治愈之心
Our hearts are containers for so many emotions. If you could represent the feelings in your heart, what would it look like? Right now, does your heart feel loved, lost, full, free, resentful, broken, heavy, wounded, or light? Our hearts are resilient. With care, attention, and self-compassion you can heal a damaged heart. In this exercise, you are going to create your heart and fill it with what you believe best represents what is inside. I’ve seen many different types of hearts in my clients’ art. Some are broken, one was caged, and others have had wings. Everyone’s heart is unique and created by the experiences they have had. 我们的心是许多情感的容器。如果你能代表你心中的情感,它会是什么样子?现在,你的心是感到被爱、失落、充实、自由、怨恨、破碎、沉重、受伤还是轻盈?我们的心是有弹性的。只要关心、关注和自我同情,你就能治愈受损的心。在这个练习中,你将创造你的心,并用你认为最能代表内心的东西来填充它。我在客户的艺术作品中看到过许多不同类型的心。有的破碎了,有的被关在笼子里,还有的长了翅膀。每个人的心都是独一无二的,都是由他们的经历创造出来的。

Casted Survivors’ Hands 铸造幸存者之手
Hands are expressive and empowering. Explore different ways your hands can tell a story. What stories are told with a fist, two cupped hands, praying hands, or a peace sign? How do your hands represent how you feel now or how you would like to feel? Hand gestures can deliver an expressive and effective message. I had a client who created a cast of her hands open to receive. The cast came out beautifully; you could even see the details of her tiny hairs and veins. She decided to not paint them and let them remain plaster white. 手具有表现力和力量。探索双手讲述故事的不同方式。握拳、双手合十、祈祷的手或和平手势能讲述什么故事?你的手如何代表你现在的感受或你想要的感受?手势可以传递富有表现力的有效信息。我有一个客户,她制作了一个双手张开的石膏像。石膏的效果非常好,你甚至可以看到她细小的毛发和血管的细节。她决定不给双手上色,让它们保持石膏的白色。

STEPS: 步骤:
Spend 10 minutes trying out different hand poses. Decide which pose of your hands you want to cast. 花 10 分钟尝试不同的手部姿势。决定你想摆出哪种手的姿势。
Follow the directions on the packaging to prepare the alginate. (If you do not have alginate, there are two alternatives you could try instead. One is to pour wet plaster into a rubber glove and close the glove with a rubber band. Let this dry overnight and then remove the rubber glove once dry. Or, you could lay plaster strips around your hand. Be sure to cover your hands in petroleum jelly before applying the strips so the plaster does not stick to your skin. Once set, you can take the plaster mold off your hand.) 按照包装上的说明准备海藻酸盐。(如果没有海藻酸盐,您可以尝试两种替代方法。一种是将湿石膏倒入橡胶手套中,然后用橡皮筋将手套封住。让其干燥一夜,干燥后取下橡胶手套。或者,您也可以在手上缠上石膏条。在铺石膏条之前,一定要在手上涂上凡士林,这样石膏就不会粘在皮肤上了。一旦凝固,您就可以将石膏模具从手上取下(请注意,石膏模具是不能从手上取下的)。
Find a comfortable sitting position and pour the alginate over your hands. 找一个舒适的坐姿,将藻酸盐倒在手上。
Wait 20 minutes for the alginate to set. 等待 20 分钟,让藻酸盐凝固。
Slowly pull your hands from the alginate. 慢慢将手从藻酸盐中抽出。

Healing Bowl 治疗碗
In Japanese tradition, there is an art form called kintsugi where cracks in a broken bowl are filled with gold. Instead of hiding its history, the broken piece is repaired, and the cracks are made beautiful. The message in this art form is that there is beauty in breaking, healing, and transforming. The bowl is symbolic of us, as we are a vessel that holds many things. Sometimes we break emotionally and need to be repaired. In this exercise, you will break a bowl and then repair it. You will fill the bowl with written words on both the inside and the outside as a representation of your essence.

Acceptance Box 验收箱
The Acceptance Box is a container for situations, feelings, or challenges that you cannot control. The box holds your anxieties, fears, insecurities, or anything that is taking up space in your head. Through the process of writing down these worries and mindfully placing them into the box, you give those worries to a higher power to resolve.

Best Next Step 最佳下一步
Identifying problems and exploring possible response scenarios can help you see different perspectives of a situation. Looking at different outcomes can also help you find a solution. When you’re anxious and in fight-orflight mode, your brain is not responding from a place of healthy problem solving. It’s responding from a place of fear. You first need to take some time to calm down. Once you are calmer, you can write out different scenarios to solve your problem. 发现问题并探索可能的应对方案,可以帮助你从不同角度看问题。观察不同的结果也能帮助你找到解决方案。当你焦虑不安,处于 "战斗-逃跑 "模式时,你的大脑并不是从健康的解决问题的角度出发。它的反应来自恐惧。首先,你需要花一些时间冷静下来。一旦你平静下来,你就可以写出解决问题的不同方案。

Self-Talk 自我对话
Negative self-talk feeds depression. When you become aware of this behavior, you can learn to replace negative statements with more positive ones. Is there something you really want out of life? Do you have negative thoughts or beliefs that are associated with getting what you want? I’ve seen the negative thoughts of one of my clients creep into different areas of her life. She kept telling herself that she wasn’t good enough. This affected her relationships at work, at home, and with herself. When she recognized this pattern and replaced her internal dialogue with helpful, positive thoughts, her outlook on life and relationships changed. It will do the same for you. 消极的自言自语会滋生抑郁情绪。当你意识到自己的这种行为时,你就能学会用更积极的言论取代消极的言论。生活中是否有你真正想要的东西?你是否有与得到你想要的东西相关的消极想法或信念?我见过我的一位客户,她的消极思想已经渗透到她生活的各个领域。她不停地告诉自己,她不够好。这影响了她在工作、家庭以及与自己的关系。当她认识到这种模式,并用有益的、积极的想法取代内心对话时,她的人生观和人际关系都发生了改变。这对你来说也是一样的。

Guilt and Shame Collage 内疚与羞愧拼贴画
Guilt is feeling that you are responsible for a wrongdoing. Even if you apologize the feeling may linger. Shame is an even more painful feeling of humiliation. Shame can lead a person to think they are unworthy of love, friendships, or happiness. It can affect unrelated areas of your life and lead to isolation, dishonesty, abusive behaviors, alcoholism, or workaholism. Many people who have shame are too embarrassed to get help, but it’s important to identify when the feelings of shame started. Discussing your work with a trained therapist can help you share your story and begin the healing process. 内疚是一种感觉,觉得自己要为错误行为负责。即使你道歉了,这种感觉也会挥之不去。羞耻感是一种更加痛苦的屈辱感。羞耻感会让人认为自己不配拥有爱情、友谊或幸福。它可能会影响你生活中无关的领域,导致孤立、不诚实、虐待行为、酗酒或工作狂。许多有羞耻感的人都不好意思寻求帮助,但重要的是要确定羞耻感是从什么时候开始的。与训练有素的治疗师讨论你的工作,可以帮助你分享你的故事并开始治疗过程。
