ART AS THERAPY

When fear takes over me,

Whether IT has already happened or not,

When there is no more reason, nor with whom to work on it,

And I stay in any case…

Then I ask myself

On which side should I be?!

When fear takes over me-

Because I understand the “goodbye”

Has no “see you”,

Then I look on the signboard on the door

Am I on the side of the “open”

Or do I see the “close”, from where I stand?

When fear takes over me,

​

And separation/breakup is a paralyzer…

Am I even aware

To this door’s existence?

Do I even see that signboard?

Is that window transparent?

​
 

This workshop will focus on the fear of separation/breakup from all aspects.

The personal art-work will allow each participant to deal with the aspect that touches him/her:

​

• Whether separation/breakup has already happened, is happening, is about to happen or whether it should happen.

• Whether we choose it, whether it was chosen for us, or it has chosen us.

• Whether it is separating/breaking up from a relationship, a family member, a working place/position or residency.

We will observe that fear of separation/breakup; that prevents us from stepping through that doorstep- that same doorstep we need to cross to move forward.

​

In many cases, the fear of separation/breakup is controlling our lives even when the separation/breakup is already a fact, and we keep on standing on the doorstep, embracing the past, afraid to move on.

​

In this workshop, we’ll try to look at the fear and to work with it, despite its existence, in order to move onward.

The purpose of the workshop is to research our fears, recognize our strengths and try to understand how to deal with the fear and accept the separation/breakup as a door that makes us cross to different areas in the structure of our life.

We will try to look at separation/breakup as a doorway to a new start. That observation might be a way to a healthier approach- in our personal relations, during and after separation/breakup.

• In the workshop we’ll use art-work, through which we’ll have an introduction for a process of coping, through observation and research of internal movement within the fear of separation/breakup. Through the art-work, we will find a Psychodramatic discourse between the different areas we will discover.
