Creative Counseling Approacs by Syau Mei Thach

Role-Playing!

Coming from roots of Psychodrama, this can actually incorporate elements of tabletop roleplay and being able to act our different roles they feel! I feel like a whole campaign of a DND session of Psychodrama, this can be beneficial. (Formation/Making your character, Storming/Introducing your role and doing whatever role does best/Still trying to form the team, Norming/Teamwork elements of the campaign is used to solve problems, Termination/End of the campaign)

Writing Therapy!

Roots from Expressive Therapy/Art Therapy, writing can be used to express how the clients feel in a safe way. There's room for creativity and can be used to talk about difficult moments where it wouldn't usually be expressed in just talking. Best suited for any stage depending how the writing is utilized or what it's talking about.

Nature Thrapy!

Roots from studies of how people feel amazing in sunlight and the outdoors with a personal Humanistic approach. Going outside can really change your perspective on a lot of things in life, beginning to appreciate or understand things where we didn't before. Best suited for Storming and Norming.

Equine Therapy!

Equine therapy comes from Emotional Regulation therapies. Equine and horses are very gentle creatures that aren't judgemental and can offer a rewarding experience. Due to horses being friendly and expressive, it can help soothe us and understand feelings we didn't realize before. Also, it's fun being majestic and loving as a horse! Good for any and all group stages.

Meditation Therapy

Mainly comes from Mindfulness based therapies and CBT. We tell ourselves life is stressful, but sometimes taking a step back and taking in the moment rather than the past and future can be fruitful. The present is a gift and can offer us a lot of insight about not only what's around us, but ourselves as well! Best suited for Storming.
