Following on from the art and craft of oral storytelling comes the art of translating our experiences into language. Through our carefully selected words we create a world that we present to ourselves and others as our reality.
Becoming aware of the spin we lend our tales is incredibly useful in developing our self-awareness and self development.
Lyn French, art therapist and A Space Director writes about this in The stories that make us, a blog on the Iniva website that also links to a Resources Page where it is possible to download free resources based on a project undertaken with this theme, and also to resources connecting to the Emotional Learning Cards, a collection of really wonderful themed visual art images aimed at stimulating creative exploration in therapeutic settings.
