Mindful Drawing in Online Play Therapy
Abstract
Mindful Draw is an online tool that allows users to create any image they want with a range of colors, brushstrokes, and even sounds. They then watch that image fade away. In a therapeutic setting, this activity benefits clients with affirmation of self through making choices, staying in the present, and metaphorically facing and coping with uncomfortable sensations. This chapter demonstrates the use of the Mindful Draw tool in facilitating the mindful expression and processing of feelings in teletherapy practice.
