Description:
Disruptive life experiences like death and divorce can leave children without language to describe the experience. Aspects of their experience can be hidden, even from themselves. During the Narrative Art Journaling process the child tells their story on various pages using pictures and other creative modalities in play therapy. They get the opportunity to ‘create’ and ‘re-create’ their story during directive play therapy.
This process has been used in play therapy with success to help children to reconstruct their personal narratives as they reflect on the pages they create. It helps to untangle their confusing thoughts, honor their experience, and explore their continuing narrative as they become compassionate witnesses of their own story. When the process is used with groups, and group play therapy, members become compassionate witnesses to each other’s stories.
