I've joined

Me too!

I'm so happy how the group has taken off already! I think it'll be awesome!

Hi Everyone,
So you all know, the group is taking off very well! We already have 15 members and only need 15 more to be able to have a forum which would us to be able to organize and follow subjects a little better. But already we're having great discussions and sharing resources! Thanks to all who have joined, I hope if others are interested they'll stop by as well!

I joined too

I'll join but want to know a bit more about it if that's okay to ask here.

Hi Everyone,
Thanks for joining Sweepy!
Iota, it's ok to ask anything you want. My thinking was to c create a group for people who have experience with or want to learn about any therapy approach that is considered by either the therapy world or them to be creative/ nontraditional. Ideas that come to mind for me are the creative arts therapies, art, music, drama, ETC... body psychotherapy like bioenergetics, Hakomi, other forms of bodywork in therapy, Somatic experienceing ETC... energy psychology like healing from the body level up. I'd include internal family systems here too, though I don't know much about it I know many people on here have therapists trained in it. From what I've read/ experienced it uses imagination/ meditation so I'd consider it nontraditional/ creative although it's becoming very popular, and maybe one day won't be so novel!
So I wanted a place where people could discuss/ ask questions/ share their experiences with these therapies, share resources on finding practitioners/ schools/ training centers and just be a place where like-minded people could come together for support.
I hope this answers your questions. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask. And thanks for joining even before knowing about it, that's a couragious thing to do!

Joined!!

Great Velcro!

creative psychotherapy? I'm all about that! My t is fairly nontraditional as well so it's perfect. I just joined! thank you!

Hi Artimous,
I was wondering when you'd join! (smile) With your experience with sandtray and dreamwork and stuff z I think you'll really enjoy the group and contribute a lot!

I would like to join as well. How do I do that though?

Click on the blue in adel's first post in this thread. That takes you to the group. There should be the words "join group" in blue on the right top of the page. See you there!

I was very happy to come home and see a few new members.
Smile, I hope you find the link to join the group ok. Thanks rainbow for the good directions!
Sweepy, I've checked and double checked and I don't see you listed in the group. Maybe try joining again?

Ok I fixed it I forgot to confirm lol
