The therapeutic intentions of these sessions are to:

• Aid drawing to the surface life experiences which are held hidden in the body, giving them shape and form, with opportunities to change and create different stories.
• Positively impact psychological and physiological health, improve self-regulation, and cultivate the capacity for subjective well-being and self-awareness.
• Development of kinesthetic awareness, proprioception, and interoception.
• Foster a sense of feeling in control, identity, and purpose, and provide opportunities for self-empowerment and self-transformation.
