Give pain to paper

I’ll give pain to paper or draw my spasm

Headache is the main symptom of civilization in modern society. Within the framework of psychosomatic analysis, headache can be considered as a manifestation of certain conditions. In acute reactions to conflict – as a manifestation of emotionally significant or psychotraumatic experiences.

To work creatively with such pains, try the following forms of drawing:

Finishing monotypic casts on a separate sheet with the search for deep saving meanings.

Impression drawing with liquid paint, which makes it possible to symbolically blur the meaning of psycho-emotional experiences.

Drawing the whole from individual details in order to form new images, create harmonious systems

 

in reconstructive technologies for overcoming traumatic psycho-emotional states.

Often, short-term head pains with psycho-emotional meanings can symbolically display resentment, unexpressed aggressiveness, angry reactions, indignation. Also, as an option, it is necessary to take into account reactions to overwork, internal and external overloads against the background of external and internal conflicts associated with the recognition of one’s own value in space. And such a form of reaction as disappointment can serve as a triggering situation for the impossibility of achieving the realization of socially significant aspects of the “I”.

In such situations of life and headaches as forms of their study, there is the possibility of repressed emotions immersed in the body. Consider the main forms of working with a drawing, which have proven themselves especially well in practice:

Express your anxieties and emotions through spontaneous painting in large spaces.
Gesture and kinesthetic body painting.
Dotted drawing of symbolic images.
Relieve stress by drawing with natural materials, food, wax, clay, mud.
These forms of work provide a constructive and creative experience of psycho-emotional states, they are a necessary method for the prevention of mental exhaustion in a state of acute and chronic stress.

The drawing is a prophylactic means of minimizing dysphoric conditions and makes it possible to provide the necessary form of protection against aggravating situations.

Verbalization and recognition of one’s sensations in the head with the help of a drawing is an ecological form of relieving stress and vascular spasms, as well as training the reactivity of the vascular system.

What to do if you have a headache and you have found the psychological causes of this phenomenon:

Draw as many sheets of paper in any color as you can with negative words to describe this pain.
Depict your headache in the form of geometric shapes in different color ratios.
Blow a headache through straws: type diluted watercolor paint into a cocktail straw and blow it onto a piece of paper.

And let thoughts of love, not pain, live in your head. Leave room in your head for the beautiful and important.
