Webinar Description
90-minute webinar
Therapy stones are international and can be used in all cultures, for all ages. When we work with therapeutic stones, we bypass the rational part of thinking.
They help us to realise the dialogue between the inner and the outer, to bring underlying material to the surface. They are a springboard for our imagination, triggering whimsical associations that lead us to unexpected discoveries. Therapeutic stones help to remove the protective barriers of the psyche. They create conditions for self-disclosure and self-knowledge, creating a safe and comfortable environment.
Acting as a kind of mediator between a person and their inner world, the hand painted marble stones make it possible to reduce or circumvent resistance in psychotherapeutic work, to bring to the level of awareness deep experiences; to develop a creative vision and deepen creativity. Through work with therapeutic stones, the practitioner helps clients to develop self-awareness, uncover stable patterns of behaviour and defence mechanisms, work through and react to blocked emotions, and explore possibilities of change that will lead to more adaptive functioning.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the webinar you will have the opportunity to:
1) Learn methods, techniques and characteristics of using therapeutic stones in deep psychotherapeutic work.
2) Understand how to build the therapeutic process competently and safely; how to see, hear and be aware of what is going on with the client - and how to carry out therapeutic work effectively, responsibly and with high quality.
3) Know about different sets of therapeutic stones and their possibilities in the work of a psychologist, psychotherapist and counsellor in group and individual therapy;
4) Examine in practice the possibilities of a bag of emotions to work with the emotional state;
5) Learn how to use the stones in your work with your inner child.
