Tools for Creativity
Posted by:Tools for Creativity
In therapy sessions, planning gets in the way of creativity; at least in my experience, that's true. Creativity comes from feeling our way into the client's experience. It comes from trusting the process between us. It comes from being open without a plan. Every time we do these things, we're preparing the ground for creativity.
Staying in contact with what is emerging moment to moment is a basic in Gestalt therapy. Sometimes I notice spontaneous images as I am sitting with a client. I understand this to be part of our co-creation. and I try not to second-guess myself. I just describe what I see and what it feels like to me. Usually, it resonates and is greeted with interest. If it doesn't, that's OK too.
