Episode 3 - Creative Arts Therapy Online

This is a recording of a Internet Live Broadcast from Therapeutic Airwaves http://therapeuticairwaves.blogspot.com/ on the 2nd March 2008. In the discussion with online counsellors and psychotherapists, we explored the realm of imagination in healing. If the main processes of Creative Arts Therapy is working within the imaginative realm to access the healing and growth potential that lies in the unconscious and collective unconscious of the individual and group psyche, it would seem natural to tap into the imaginative therapeutic space that is offered by virtual reality in cyberspace. To utilise creative arts therapy online is not limited or constrained by the technology but only by ones own imagination to use what is already available and accessible between client and therapist in a creative and novel way. It is not technology that drives creativity, it is creativity that drives technology.

I am hoping to start a series of regular Internet Live Broadcast for Creative Arts Therapists around the globe. If you are interested in participating or would like to suggest the themes for discussion please do get in touch with me. A listing of the schedule will be posted here and instruction of how to participate. I do hope you will be able to me and Creative Arts Therapists around the world.

Episode 2 – The transitions of a being a Korean Dramatherapist, Myung Hee Han

In our second episode, Myung Hee Han give listeners a glimpse of her
experiences, the challenges that face those who have come from all over the world and having trained in the various institution in UK, returning to their home country setting up their dramatherapy practices as dramatherapists. The interview explores the cross cultural issues, adaptations and personal transitions that awaits those returning to a society that may not have the cultural, professional and service infrastructure as yet to accommodate the ‘qualified dramatherapists’ especially when their training and experience they have had is located in cultural context very different from their own. Such cultural accommodation has to be made not only when they arrive and enter the British culture in commencement of their professional training here, the same has to be made when they return back to their home country. The issue is how could the necessary support and preparedness be made available by the respective training institutions as well as the professional establishment especially in helping and supporting those in such transitions.
