The Creative Connection: Expressive Arts As Healing. Questo articolo non è disponibile.The Creative Connection: Expressive Arts As Healing

Dr. Natalie Rogers has developed a process called the Creative Connection RM that interweaves all the expressive arts -- movement, sound, drawing, painting, writing, and guided imagery -- to tap into the deep wellspring of creativity within each of us. The aim is to reclaim ourselves and then help others reclaim themselves as actively playful, spirited, and conscious individuals. Rogers emphasizes the importance of psychological safety and freedom while using the creative arts. This reflects her extensive work with her father, Carl Rogers, and a deep belief in his person-centered approach to counseling.Photos and art help demystify this process, and various exercises range from the simple to the complex. Natalie's practical suggestions aid counselors who want to add expressive arts to their regular sessions.

Natalie Rogers is a pioneer in expressive arts therapy, leading trainings in Europe, Russia, Latin America, Japan, and the US. Dr Rogers trained and practised as a psychotherapist. Natalie founded and has recently retired from the Person-Centered Expressive Therapy Institute, Santa Rosa, CA. She is a full professor (adjunct) at the California Institute of Integral Studies, the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, and Distinguished Consulting Faculty at Saybrook Graduate School.
