I also hope to raise the students levels of awareness about the use of art in therapy and how it can be integrated in through multiple theoretical applications to move the clients to tell their stories and take ownership in creating their new story. ~Appreciative Graduate student I plan to use this activity for a presentaion in a counseling class on creative therapies and I believe it will help illustrate how creating a visual representation of the clients desired changes will help propel them to change.
