This workshop will provide an overview of the neural benefits of visualization to create and follow your own path. Through Alli’s PuzzleArt™ Therapy program, she will demonstrate how her program utilizes visualization skills to provide a safe activity that reduces stress and anxiety and promotes connection across the lifespan. There will be a focus on the use of targeted PuzzleArt™ tools to generate connection to your inner self, connection to close others, and connection to society at large. Participants will have the opportunity to practice a selection of hands-on activities and explore how the programs can be applied to use with clients both during in-person sessions as well as through telehealth. Participants will leave with tools and activities they can use in their very next session.
Learning objectives:
