In counseling, we talk about the importance of doing our “shadow work”. The shadows of our personality are the child had injuries, the trauma, the heartache, the fear and the grief That we have experienced that are still lingering and affecting our day today interactions and behavior. Doing shadow work is not always comfortable, but it is almost always helpful. When we truly understand why we do the things that we do, we learn more about ourselves, make better choices and feel better. Nothing makes us more aware of our shadows than being in isolation or in close proximity to our families. Counseling can help. In our first episode of artful shadow work, I showed you how to trace the patterns that you might see out in nature. In this video, I’m going to share some information about adding details to the shadow work that you’re doing on paper. As with the psychological work, you want to stay loose, fluid, and unattached to the outcomes. Don’t worry about what’s happening, just pay attention to what’s happening. Stay in the moment and use the materials that you have on hand. Have fun and be well. #Shadows #ShadowWork #Psychology #Psychotherapy #Counseling #AbstractArt #counselorsofinstagram #ArtistOfInstagram #AbstractArt #AcrylicPainting #Tracing #Drawing #MotherNature #RootChakra #BeStill #Breathe #StaceyBrownCounseling @Stacey Brown Arts
