Tarot, Books, & Stuff

Drawing on my eight years as an Internship Supervisor for a Masters in Counseling, everything in this book has been tested and reworked with folks working with our most vulnerable populations. I would see students turn from bright-eyed new clinicians to dragging themselves to their placement sites and class feeling utterly hopeless about the system, their clients ability to “get better” and who they were as therapists. I had the term Vicarious Trauma, even felt it myself, seen it in my coworkers, but something there was something different watching it in weekly three hour chunks, one a face of a student paying a lot of money to train to be a therapist. I began researching protocols, of which there are many and no one has heard of them, and creating my own.

Square the Circle: Art Therapy Workbook features easy-to-use mandala coloring sheets and activities. Drawing on fifteen years of experience, Rebecca Bloom has brought together the very best of the art directives she created to help Adults, Teens and Children address Anxiety, Depression and PTSD. For many people it is difficult to formulate their problems with words, this book will show you how image making allows more of the story to come out, by letting go of focusing only on verbal processing. Much of the current Neuroscience research shows us that trauma is often experienced and stored in the body. These exercises are specifically designed to safely allow the body to tell its story. By taking time to fill in the heart image, we get to know ourselves from the inside out, instead of letting the outside world constrain what our experience is. There is no right or wrong answer, the creative process allows for tremendous complexity.

Attunement: Mandala Coloring Book contains over 40 original images. These coloring sheets explore the types of connection, and disconnection we feel with our selves, others and the world around us. Perfect for using as art journaling, in the therapy office, or in groups. These coloring sheets were designed to explore attachment styles. Using the mandala as a frame, first a series with animals and then a series with abstract shapes, gives the opportunity to reflect on how we feel about our relationships.
