Creative Tools: Helping Clients Decrease Inner Conflict

Kathryn Yarborough, MFA, BC-DTR

Overview
In Creative Tools: Helping Clients Decrease Inner Conflict, participants will practice tools that can be used as interventions with clients who present with inner conflict. For example, these tools can be used when a client is having a difficult time making a decision or when a client says she or he wants something but doesn’t act on it. These tools facilitate increased self awareness and integration. The creative tools include journaling, movement, and structured play.

1. Name 3 creative techniques to assist a client in integrating conflicting aspects of his or her personality.
2. List recommended uses for each modality based on specific presenting problems.
3. Demonstrate using two of these techniques with a partner and one as a self-directed exercise

After taking this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Describe to clients how to integrate conflicting aspects of their personality
• Use specific journaling, movement and structured play exercises as interventions with their clients
• Assist clients with integrating inner conflict
