This experiential workshop aims to introduce participants to reflective practice using an art therapy framework. It is designed for healthcare professionals who would like to engage in creative expression as a way to deepen their understanding of their own emotional and psychological experiences, as well as explore the nuances of transference and countertransference in patient care. In this workshop, the creative process will serve as both a reflective tool and a means of gaining new insights into our professional interactions and emotional responses.

No prior art experience is needed. All art materials will be provided.

  - Gain more insights and clarity into how the “self” shows up in our professional lives.

  - Make clearer distinction between our own emotional content and that of the patient. 

  - Improve self-care and clinical outcomes through increased empathy and awareness.
