| Using and Teaching Simple Creative Problem-Solving with Your Clients |
If you don't know the answer, it is "outside the box". Divert worry and interrupt the stress of ruminating with a simple 4-step process to get new ideas. Great as a behavioral intervention for anxious clients, creative problem-solving substitutes a more relaxing and productive focus. From a practical to conceptual tool, understanding the "creative process" in broader terms provides a cognitive framework for complexity and disruptive change. Applied to life challenges, these tools promote hardiness, sustaining your client's motivation and vitality during tough times. In this workshop, we will use both lecture and arts based exercises to learn about these two important components of creativity. Join me for an enjoyable day of personal and professional growth.
Note: $10 fee for art supplies.
