Since I discovered, first as a personal experience, 25 years ago, the high value of certain kinds of simple creative exercises to enhance self-healing of mental disharmonies I have been implementing them with my clients with a high level of success in improving their conditions.
For me, clinical “success” is mainly measured by a significant improvement in people’s sense of “I am able to handle myself.” And this is what the Psycho-Creative tools offer people: to train and awaken dormant natural abilities that “know” how to turn the stuck energy within a “problem” into a new route of creation and change in life.
These tools are practiced in writing and while doing them the client “challenges” and “stretches” her personality into a special state where the pain associated with their problems lessens a bit thus allowing a better view of the situation and the changes it is calling to make. At this point, a new perspective on the problem arises and the client’s self-image regarding coping with it starts growing.
When we repeat this practice over 10-20 weekly meetings in addition to the home daily “mental workup” we have a growing chance for significant improvement.
