"The Creative Genius doesn't sit on your shoulder and sing sweetly. It's an annoying whine. It follows you everywhere, tapping you on the shoulder, demanding that you stop doing whatever you're doing and pay attention to them..."
Sound familiar?

In this experiential workshop:
Participants will be able to define Curiosity, Imagination, Creativity, and the "Creative Genius," all in the context of complex trauma treatment and healing.
Participants will be able to name at least three ways of engaging with their creative genius in their therapeutic approach to facilitate internal awareness, cooperation, and acceptance among parts of selves, thus reducing heightened trauma responses.
Participants will participate in at least one creative art intervention that bypasses the thinking brain to explore internal processes, dialogues, and dynamics with dissociative selves/clients.
