ART THERAPY REFLECTIONS: Art Therapy and Creative Problem Solving

When we get stuck trying to solve a problem, we often feel overly stressed. Stress narrows our vision and then we have a hard time seeing the big picture. Being a confident problem solver is really important for our peace of mind and self-confidence. To solve any problem you need to define it, think of alternatives, evaluate and select an alternative and then act on one of them. If we can bring a creative attitude to our problem then we can relax into seeing the problem from different a perceptive.

The Ladybird Guide to A Process Model, Campbell Purton

In a note to Rob Foxcroft Gene says “I do know that the Process Model is difficult to read partly because I don’t explain what I am doing until the last section of III and the section IVAd. These might be put first. I also think that some part of VIII is understandable near the beginning because that’s where the concepts come from.”...

Climate change is here, there and everywhere

"...Here is our real problem. One of the many costs of denial is paralysis. We are incapable of solving a problem we have decided does not exist. The Republicans, conservatives and massive community of deniers are so determined that climate change is not happening, they cannot see what is coming. They naively believe the future will be just like the past, despite the massive evidence that our Earth is undergoing a dramatic and permanent transformation..."

Modern Look at Marriage: One writer's very specific appreciation

Embracing Marriage, Flaws and All - Modern Love: http://t.co/o9zMzsxc...

While on a camping trip with her in-laws, Elizabeth Weil, author “No Cheating, No Dying: I Had a Good Marriage. Then I Tried to Make It Better” (Scribner) has an epiphane.

 

In a moment - taking in her husband's appreciation for her presence on the camping trip, years of concerted effort to transform a good marriage into a great marriage converge. And she reflects that though there are some generalities of a good marriage, her stance is that, "marriage, generally, is truly ridiculous, but I love Dan very, very specifically."
