Your presentation was extremely well thought out and the experience so positive ... the guided imagery and drawing experiences were also very powerful in both demonstrating the tools and helping the therapists access their own inner resources. I look forward to working with you in the future and watching your ideas take hold in the AUCC trainees." Bonnie H. Wolkenstein, Ph.D. |
Learning, Creativity, and Empowerment Children today are under tremendous stress, facing unprecedented problems in our complex and often confusing world. Frequently children are ill equipped to cope with the challenges in their lives. They have difficulty making friends; they waffle under peer pressure; they are undone by sibling rivalry; they have trouble keeping up academically. Many families are strained by conflict or separation. Yet, regardless of these circumstances, Dr. Charlotte Reznick calmly affirms that all children can learn to help themselves. In this experiential presentation, Dr. Reznick will draw upon her highly praised Imagery For Kids program. She will demonstrate innovative techniques of guided and interactive imagery, enhanced by music, relaxation skills, drawing, and journal writing. Further, Dr. Reznick will integrate research with her clinical experience to reveal how a host of emotional, behavioral, and learning concerns are effectively addressed by imagery. Participants will gain a practical overview of Dr. Reznick's philosophy and tools. Parents and professionals alike will immediately begin to help children and adolescents relieve stress and boost self-esteem; calm hyperactivity; increase concentration and academic performance; decrease anger, aggression, and acting-out behaviors. Children can learn to feel safe, overcome fears and school-phobia, cope with loss, develop their creative expression, and trust their inner resources to make healthy life decisions. Dr. Charlotte Reznick maintains that all children hold within themselves profound imaginative and healing abilities. In this rich visual experiential presentation, Dr. Reznick will illustrate how techniques of her innovative Imagery For Kids program can awaken the inner resources children need in order to manage and deal effectively with the stresses of physical and emotional illness. Participants will learn the steps to Imagery Treatment with Children, including breathing techniques, progressive muscle relaxation, music and drawing applications, non-dominant and dominant writing. An array of creative tools for guided and interactive imagery will be offered, including the "balloon" breath, discovering one's "special place," receiving "gifts," "talking" to body parts, encountering a "personal wizard" and "animal friend," and using "color" for healing.
With this groundwork, professionals and parents can teach children and adolescents how to apply these successful techniques to their own lives, enabling them to understand and participate in their own healing.
