Healing from Clinical Trauma Using Creative Mindfulness Techniques: A Workbook of Tools and Applications
|
This workbook offers diverse strengths-based tools to incorporate the Creative Mindfulness Technique (CMT) into clinical practice. It provides an essential understanding of the ethical scope of practice, ensuring that clinicians consider the depth of their own training in the implementation of the CMT art directives.
Chapters explore aspects such as attachment and art therapy, multicultural considerations when using art with clients, mindfulness, the eight dimensions of wellness, and the application of CMT techniques with clients affected by PTSD, anxiety, and low self-esteem. The creative activities, mindfulness approaches, and arts-based exercises provided support the healing process of clients in ways that are accessible, practical, and easy to execute. Examples of activities include guided imageries with art-making, art journaling directives, and mixed media prompts. Through these exercises, clients will learn to draw upon their strengths and feel empowered in their daily lives. People with PTSD/clinical trauma, stress, addiction, and anxiety, and clinicians and mental health practitioners working with them will find this book to be an essential tool. Readers may also be interested in Creative Mindfulness Techniques for Clinical Trauma Work: Insights and Applications for Mental Health Practitioners, which can be used on its own or as a companion to this book.

BA employs the Creative Mindfulness Technique (CMT) with clients it is fitting for. In this approach the art process becomes the transitional and tangible manifestation of this very individualized, internal, and intangible process of discovering and maintaining equilibrium. BA emphasizes “the process” over “product.” That process includes the work necessary to develop and enhance personal problem-solving skills, as well as the supported time spent together examining, discussing, and honoring the participant's unique vision and journey.
