I am anxious, so am I? | art therapy workshop
Have you ever felt that anxiety is so much a part of your life that you can't imagine your daily life without it? That it's a given that your palms sweat on the subway, your pulse gets high at a meeting, or that some days even getting out of bed is a challenge? If you're familiar with these issues, it's important to know that you're not alone.
At the Method Demonstration Workshop on 27 May, we will use art therapy and relaxation to work through our innermost emotions. The technique offers opportunities for venting, developing self-reflection and creativity, and deepening the experience of community.
Schedule
Dalma Takács, art therapist and relaxation leader, decided to pursue a career in helping people based on her own experience. More than 20 years of struggle with generalised anxiety disorder and panic disorder prompted her to start her art therapy project SafeSpace and to initiate a dialogue with her fellow sufferers. The art-based method not only helps us access our deep psychological processes that are difficult to verbalise, but also helps us to experience flow and create a conscious presence.
Classical art therapy sessions last a minimum of 2 hours and take place in a closed, intimate setting. Unfortunately, we won't have this opportunity at the Telep, but during a method demonstration session, participants can vent their current emotions, talk about them with Dalma and get a taste of what art therapy can offer.
No artistic talent or manual dexterity is required to participate in this event. Creating is not an aim, it is "only" a means to make verbally inaccessible/hard to reach content more accessible.
TELEP
Not even Gozsdu was standing when TELEP was, and it's still welcoming the most easy-going human elements.
