All the Feels - Therapeutic Art Program
All The Feels is a program that supports a deeper exploration and understanding of our emotions. We don’t just THINK our emotions, we FEEL them in our body, so an acknowledgement and connection of these emotions and how they feel in our body is the first important step in learning to regulate – which just means helping our big feelings, feel not so big and overwhelming anymore.
Other areas covered in the program include:
The Brain & Hyper/hypoarousal
Zones of Regulation
Self regulation
Co regulation
Identity and Strengths
Body Safety
Online Safety
Gratitude
Shame
Proud and Joy
Written by Bec Filliponi in 2019, this program has be adapted to suit those who need support at the time, whether that be a once off 1 hour session, a 3 hour intensive session or an 1 hour, weekly program for 8 weeks. Since its creation we have supported hundreds of people through the children, young people, adults and parents programs in person and in online groups,
throughout pandemic lock downs.
I work with Bec and another artist Catherine from Limedoor Studio on this program.
Together we create Art Projects for the children & Adults.
During Covid Lockdowns we were unable to run face to face programs so we recorded all the modules and Art Project instructions and sent out Art Packs. Over the next years we also ran the program over zoom. The sessions were fun as we crafted together. These helped them discover ways to deal with big emotions and to help them find ways to cope with the stressors of Covid and Distance Learning.
