The direction \u201cneedlework as psychotherapy\u201d originates in ancient times, when there were no psychologists and psychotherapists, but there were problems of relationships, emotional states, personality.
\nHow did their decision come about?
\nIn those days, problems were solved by self-help, highlighting an additional effect in some previously familiar business, for example, a woman noted that when sewing, she calms down, experiences positive emotions.
\nIt was not without insight (sudden insight) and female intuition.
\nPsychological possibilities of needlework
\nIncreasing self-esteem. In the process of needlework, a woman acts as a designer, creator, and creating something new beautiful with her own hands increases self-esteem – \u201cI can, I did it, it\u2019s beautiful!\u201d
\nBalance and tranquility. Modern scientific research has confirmed the hunches and observations of people about the positive impact of manual labor on the emotional state, and the development of fine motor skills also contributes to the development of certain parts of the brain.
\nFeeling of your own uniqueness. And once again we will return to self-esteem and touch it from the other side. A woman creates a masterpiece in a single copy, and whatever it is, there is no such thing anymore, it is one and only for her. \u201cI did it and this work is mine, it is exclusive and breathes with individuality, it is in a single copy and only with me.\u201d And how does she feel, how does she feel?
\nPositive emotions – joy, delight, pleasure. When creating something new, creative abilities and creativity are activated, and this, in turn, brings a stream of positive emotions of different amplitudes.
\nFemininity. When needleworking, every woman realizes that she is a \u201cwoman\u201d, the qualities inherent in a man disappear – activity, assertiveness, striving for a goal, and in their place comes tenderness, calmness and this awakens femininity!
\nActivation of personal resources. And here the task already follows – \u201cAnd what, your personal resources, so necessary for a woman, does needlework activate?\u201d
\n***
\nChoose for yourself the type of needlework, if it\u2019s difficult to do it, or you don\u2019t like manual labor at all, it\u2019s not a problem, remember what you loved in childhood (this is a very resourceful period) – sew dresses for dolls, embroider, knit with your grandmother and mother, or maybe draw and write down;
\nThink, imagine, fantasize, how can your business be endowed with psychological meaning? An example from practice – \u201cI worked with the help of kinesiology and tested for my friend a type of needlework to find peace of mind – knitting falls out, and we analyze together – what to connect and how to give this action a certain psychological strength, as a result – knits a scarf from blue yarn as a symbol of dreams and happiness\u201d, etc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
