SUMMARY:Self-of-the-Therapist Experiential Process Painting (6.5 CEs) – Winter 2026
DESCRIPTION:Discounted early bird rate of $30 off available now through 11/03/26! \nWhen applying concepts from El Duende Process Painting and the Anchored Relational Method—including Relational Autonomy and Relational Cohesion—to self-of-the-therapist clinical practice\, the therapist’s evolving relationship with a single canvas becomes the vehicle for learning. Sequential layering of art materials invites ongoing self-reflexivity through aesthetic attunement\, Relational Resonance\, and clinical intuition. This process encourages aesthetically focused curiosity and exploration of internal and external relationships\, often bringing forward deeper layers of professional and personal identity. \nThrough intuitive process painting\, participants will strengthen their capacity to recognize and respond to emotional\, somatic\, and relational cues within themselves and the therapeutic relationship. This experiential practice supports greater presence\, self-awareness\, and clinical responsiveness while exploring how internal responses can inform—rather than direct—the therapeutic process. \nThe structure of process painting has three main activities:  \n\nSpontaneous painting\nComplex reflective processing\nAesthetically focused attention to imagery appearing in the painting that parallels the clinical experience\n\nThis process offers numerous benefits including enhanced self-reflexivity\, improved clinical intuition\, and a deeper understanding of internal and external relationships. Engagement from Active Imagination\, practicing and applying “neurology\, development\, dignity\, resilience\, and vulnerability inherent in all human beings.. supporting life-giving actions in line with values.” (Miller and Solon 2024) \nSeminar Schedule: \n\n9:00 – Guided Relaxation\, Introductions\, and Experiential Check-In\n9:45 – Explanation and Instructions for Process Painting\n10:00 – Experiential Process Painting: Part I\n11:30 – Small-Group Processing and Integration\n12:30 – Lunch Break\n1:00 – Experiential Process Painting: Part II\n3:00 – Large-Group Reflection\, Clinical Integration\, and Closing\n\nArt of Counseling\, PLLC\, is an ATCB Authorized Continuing Education (CE) Provider.
