‘Een Taal Erbij’ is a therapeutic method in which we use visual aids, such as figurines, symbols and drawings. By making feelings, thoughts and experiences literally visible, space is created to reflect on what is going on inside.
Sometimes emotions or experiences are difficult to put into words. ‘Een Taal Erbij’ helps you to explore and better understand emotions and experiences in a different way. By ‘mapping out’ situations in space, you gain a clearer overview and can see how things are connected. Because you can look at what is happening from a distance, it can also help you to reflect on yourself and your situation with greater calm and insight.
When can Een Taal Erbij help?
‘Een Taal Erbij’ can help when talking alone is not enough, or when you find that feelings or experiences are difficult to put into words. This method supports you in exploring what is going on and gaining greater insight into yourself, your relationships and your environment.
‘Een Taal Erbij’ might, for example, be suitable for:
- exploring communication patterns and emotions within relationships;
- understanding and coming to terms with profound or difficult experiences;
- exploring personal goals, desires and inner conflicts;
- learning to recognise, understand and express feelings;
- situations where words fall short;
- children and adults who benefit from a more visual and experiential approach.
