By changing his drawing, a person does a great deal of inner work on his idea of \u200b\u200ba frightening situation. Dogs in the world will remain the same barking and toothy, but the attitude towards them will change.<\/p>\n<p>There are several ways to draw fear:<\/p>\n<p>1. Draw an image of fear. Fear can be depicted as a being, as an object, as a natural phenomenon, etc. Sometimes leading questions help to imagine fear: \u201cWhat does your fear look like?\u201d, \u201cWhat does it look like?\u201d, \u201cHow scared are you?\u201d, \u201cWhat is it, your fear?\u201d. Drawing a portrait of your fear is excellent for people with well-developed imaginative thinking.<br \/>\n2. Describe a situation in which a person experiences fear. The most standard approach, you can simply draw a situation schematically, so almost everyone can do it.<br \/>\n3. Draw the feeling of fear that arises in the body. For those who in a conversation describe their inner feelings: &#8220;everything has gone cold&#8221;, &#8220;the heart has gone to the heels&#8221;, &#8220;the tongue has gone numb&#8221;, etc.<br \/>\n4. Draw the very first case that frightened a person. When a dog threw himself as a child, or when the class laughed at the answer, or when he almost drowned.<br \/>\n5. Make a mask, make a costume of fear or individual elements and turn into your fear for a while, play it. Particularly suitable for fear of the dark and ghosts. This option is suitable for children who do not like to draw.<br \/>\n6. Draw a face expressing fear, horror, fear. Such a drawing is very difficult to remake, you have to turn on the imagination at full power!<br \/>\nWhat way to draw fear to choose? Pay attention to what the person says about his fear: about the situation, about the sensations, about the monsters he represents. It is exactly what he is talking about that should be drawn in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>In the future, if you need several sessions, you can try all the methods &#8211; this way you will process the fear &#8220;from all sides&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>How to determine that the fear has passed? When your artist starts talking and drawing it is easy, stress-free and maybe even boring.<\/p>\n<p>Important!<\/p>\n<p>To overcome fear, the drawing does not need to be erased, torn or burned. Fear is part of the psyche. If you just pull it out of there, there will be a hole in the psyche that will be filled with another problem. It is better to fill it yourself by transforming fear into some new attitude &#8211; make it neutral, calm, cheerful, kind, etc. It is this image that will be fixed in the mind of the painter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most effective ways to overcome fear is&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1000],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25517","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-art-therapy"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nazarevich-art.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25517","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nazarevich-art.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nazarevich-art.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nazarevich-art.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nazarevich-art.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25517"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/nazarevich-art.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25517\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":36335,"href":"https:\/\/nazarevich-art.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25517\/revisions\/36335"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nazarevich-art.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25517"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nazarevich-art.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25517"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nazarevich-art.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25517"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
