I love phototherapy both as a separate area of art therapy and as a tool for integration with other areas of psychotherapy and counseling.
Photos fit well with an individual arrangement, and with metaphorical cards and tarot, they are generally like "relatives", but that's another story. I will definitely tell you about this!
And today I wanted to share how effectively they work in family therapy!
This, in my opinion, is an excellent simple diagnostic that instantly answers the questions:
- How promising is working with a couple?
- Does this family have a resource?
Here is the algorithm for working in Skype I made for myself:
Stage-1 Preparing to work with photo
Stage-2 Collaboration with a couple
It is worth noting that I work in Skype often with people living in other cities and countries, and I ask the spouses to be, if possible, in different rooms and, certainly, from different devices.
- What did you feel then?
- What do you feel now?
- What would help to feel the feelings that were at that moment?
I have been using photographs in my work with families for several months and have already realized how fast they work. During this time, only one couple left therapy, because the husband realized that he was no longer at all worried about everything that was connected with the past, with the time when everything was just beginning for him and his wife. Now another woman took possession of his thoughts and feelings, and despite the fact that the man himself addressed: "Still, two children!"
He was the first and decided to go forward, without that, which was once more important for him than everything in the world …
By the way, the woman was more of a habit.
It's a shame, it's annoying, but family therapy is not a trade union committee and the task, no matter what, does not set the cell of society!
It is more important to understand:
- Is it worth "fixing" the relationship?
- Will it be possible to breathe new life into them?
Working with the rest of the couples showed it worth it!
