"Drawing & Talking" therapi

Beth yw e?

Mae ‘Drawing & Talking’ yn therapi un-i-un sy’n canolbwyntio ar yr unigolyn ac sy’n digwydd dros gyfnod o 12 wythnos, gan ganolbwyntio ar ataliaeth, ymyrraeth cynnar ac adferiad o drawma emosiynol. Mae “Drawing & Talking” yn ddull gwaith chwarae therapiwtig hynod effeithiol. Mae techneg Lluniadu a Siarad yn therapi tymor byr, diogel, i'w ddefnyddio gydag unrhyw un 5+ oed, sydd ag anawsterau emosiynol sylfaenol. Mae'n cefnogi'r rhai nad ydynt yn gwireddu eu llawn botensial naill ai'n academaidd, yn broffesiynol neu'n gymdeithasol. 

Pwrpas y dull yw, i dynnu llun gyda pherson y maent yn teimlo'n gyfforddus, yr un amser yn wythnosol. Bydd y person yma yn  gofyn nifer o gwestiynau anymwthiol am y llun. Dros amser canfyddir datrysiad symbolaidd i hen wrthdaro a chaiff trawma ei wella. Mae angen gwneud gwaith gyda phlant yn ddiogel a heb fod yn ymwthiol, gan barchu eu cyflymder. Dyma pam mae unrhyw un sy’n defnyddio “Drawing & Talking” yn dysgu aros ym myd lluniadu’r plentyn. Mae'r plentyn yn dewis y cyflymder ac yn penderfynu beth i ddod i'r sesiwn. Ar ôl cwblhau, mae plant yn fwy abl i reoli eu hymddygiad, yn gallu cael mynediad gwell at gwricwlwm academaidd ac, yn bwysicaf oll, mae ganddynt fwy o hunan-barch. Mae hyn yn sicrhau ac yn roi’r cyfle iddynt dyfu yn y byd o'u cwmpas. Rydym am i bob plentyn a pherson ifanc gael y cyfle i gyflawni a datblygu’r sgiliau a’r cymeriad i bontio’n llwyddiannus i fywyd oedolyn. 

 

What is it?

Drawing and Talking is a one-to-one person-centred therapy that takes place over a course of 12 weeks, focusing on prevention, early intervention and recovery from emotional trauma. Drawing and Talking is a highly effective therapeutic play work approach. Drawing and Talking technique is a safe, short-term, time-limited therapy to be used with anyone age 5+ who has suffered trauma or has underlying emotional difficulties. It supports those who are not realising their full potential either academically, professionally or socially.

The purpose of the method is to draw with a person they feel comfortable with at the same time each week. The trusted person will learn to ask a number of non-intrusive questions about the drawing. Over time a symbolic resolution is found to old conflicts and trauma is healed. Work with children needs to be carried out safely and non-intrusively, with respect for their own pace and state of being. This is why anyone using Drawing and Talking learns to stay in the world of the child’s drawing.

The child sets the pace and decides what to bring to the session.

After completion of Drawing and Talking therapy, children are more able to control their behaviour, better able to access an academic curriculum and, most importantly, have higher self-esteem. This allows them to thrive in the world around them. We want all children and young people to have the opportunity to achieve and develop the skills and character to make a successful transition into adult life.
