THE ART THERPA METHODS
Experiences that cannot be expressed in words and feelings that have no place in everyday life are given form in art therapy.
I accompany you while you paint and help you to translate your situation into a picture. Feelings and experiences take on a “fear-free” form. The inner images and emotions ebb. What moves and torments is “overlaid” by the painted images and loses intensity. The emotions are given the opportunity to change and calm down. This is how they are created. New hope and courage for life arise.
In the art therapy workshop, at your home or online, I work in a person- and solution-focused manner. The methods can be used depending on your needs and situation.

LOM AND POM
In the People- Oriented Painting (POM) the focus is on the feelings and thoughts that arise while painting. In everyday life, these often have little space, but unconsciously they take up a lot of space. Here, while painting, they take on a form and are thereby perceived and processed.
At the Solution-Focused Art Therapy LOM, the focus lies on the specific, stressful experience, wishes and hopes. To represent these, simple, clear images are painted and therefore help to reshape you brain and neurons.
