Healing from Clinical Trauma Using Creative Mindfulness Techniques
A Workbook of Tools and Applications
«
"Creative mindfulness practices have been so valuable for taking care of myself as a mental health clinician. The creative process gets me out of my head and allows for different perspectives, problem-solving, and healing of vicarious trauma."
Sara DeWitt, LPC, CADC I"Healing from Clinical Trauma Using Creative Mindfulness Techniques is a beautiful, creative, thoughtful, and well written work. It is highly recommended for art therapists who use mindfulness creativity in their work already or are just beginning to develop this practice for themselves."
Kazz Artis, Art therapist, Artist, Mental health consultant"In and out of calendar days and countless therapies; faced with abundant challenges in processing pain, angst & argument around abuse, reframing victimization into victories... Beth Ann's compassionate and supportive guidance through the Creative Mindfulness Technique means of art-making has been transformative. Despite statistically calculating naysayers who'd suggest mental illness outcomes grow progressively more dire with age, I embrace a more hopeful future, in large part to rediscovery, reinvention and renewed purpose founded upon practicing Creative Mindfulness."
