Expressive Media and Self-Awareness

Expressive Media and Self-Awareness Resources Attributes and Evaluation of Discussion Contributions. Professional Communications and Writing Guide. In your initial post to this discussion, write about an experience you have had as a play therapist where your own issues got in the way of doing effective work. The experience you describe should involve an issue about which you have more awareness today than you did at the time. Write about how you developed your increased awareness about this issue. Additionally, choose one of the expressive arts media described in Chapter 13 of the Supervision Can Be Playful text. Take 20 to 30 minutes and engage in that arts activity to produce something related to the area of your increased awareness. Reflect and write about how your awareness developed during this expressive arts media activity and how you will use this experience in your work as a supervisor of play therapists References Books Drewes, A.
