The methods
The IHK method includes recognized techniques for creating paintings and works that are independent. Paintings and works are not interpreted or psychologically analyzed. Working with paintings and sculptures is about communicating without words, expressing a simple intrinsic reality that words do not always convey. Paintings and sculptures express an inherent reality in a simple way. The therapeutic process emerges through creative activity in relation to the artwork and the art therapist. Art therapy makes an important contribution to healthcare.
Painting with the non-dominant hand promotes mindful creation by disabling the "value filter" in the brain and better anchoring the process. Painting while standing activates the whole body, both physically and artistically.
Person-oriented method (POM)
In person-oriented art therapy, paintings arise from the spontaneous impulse of painting, without premeditation. Slowly applying the bright, smooth color with hands on paper, guided by intuition, fosters contact with oneself and what emerges in the moment.
The image develops into what it wants to become.
Clarifying the image allows for a renewed perception, leading to new solutions that can be integrated into daily life.
The POM method is a journey of self-discovery.
Solution-oriented method (LOM)
The LOM method is structured and well-founded, addressing concerns directly through painting.
Through my guidance with conversations and painting, order is created in thoughts and feelings. Insights and needs become clear, and burdens are transformed through painting.
Slowly painting neutral images relegates the "disturbing" image to the background of the brain. Slow painting calms the nervous system and promotes new neural connections.
Disturbing memories no longer surface, making room for new experiences.
Images, as well as thoughts and feelings, are put in order.
The LOM method is suitable for treating symptoms, anxiety, trauma, depression, exhaustion, relationships, farewells and new beginnings, as well as decisions.
Work-oriented
method (WOK)
In the work-oriented and painting method, the clients create with different materials.
As a therapist, I accompany this creative process, give creative-technical instructions if necessary and thus support the realisation of the work as well as the resources and self-development of the creative person.
The focus of the method is on the
Work / picture.
