Over some 20 years of assisting psychotherapy groups using expressive arts I have found myself explaining that clients need to wade into the mud and muck before they can get to the clear water. Even in meditation classes I tell clients that the deeper you go with mindfulness the more the issues arise out of quieting the mind. Now as a graduate student in counseling psychology specializing in dance/movement therapy I am happy to find that it’s a part of our training – working with clients in the process of becoming well/whole is a journey that has its peaks and valleys. Thanks for bringing this issue to light in your blog.
It is true
