Watercolor Breathing Exercises
Watercolor breathing exercises are a way to bring the client to the here and now, make them aware of their own body, and focuses on relaxation. For each exercise, the therapist will direct the client to create a specific type of brush stroke while the client focuses on each breath they make. After all the exercises are complete and the client is in a calm and relaxed state, the client creates a free drawing that reflects how they feel in the here and now. Learn More »
