Stick Figure Therapy

Doodle with Purpose

Have you ever found yourself doodling? Aimlessly drawing circles, cartoons, or meaningless squiggles while chatting on the phone? You might laugh at yourself and check to see if any of it makes sense or looks good once you are done. Then the activity is quickly forgotten as life gets busy again, until the next time you find yourself doodling. There are other times we just let ourselves loose with a pencil or pen using those moments to create until our mind clears, chase off boredom or reach a conclusion of sorts. Maybe we use doodling to simply occupy time while listening to a lecture or figuring something out. Using this method to calm ourselves is a natural extension of brain function. While awake we feel compelled to do something, even if it is unimpressive scribbles on paper. We are also used to multitasking, so to listen or discuss something and doodle feels like you are accomplishing more than the task or directive at hand.

This book suggests a method that is based on the results of my client interactions. I asked them to deliberately doodle, but with a more intentional outcome than to simply fill time. The process I am suggesting utilizes your own unique version of stick figures, circles, colours, lines and more, to help resolve issues, find answers, re-set your personal power and have many ‘aha’ moments for inner peace. It is also about understanding what makes you tick, how to release negative emotions and why sometimes we just feel lost or stuck. Have fun with the suggestions, even if you feel artistically challenged. No one is going to assess your art. The intention is to produce almost mindless yet directed doodles for the purpose of your well-being. This book has 15 suggestions to explore and offers a variety of methods to learn more about yourself. Go at your own pace in whichever order you choose. One challenge is not better nor more important than another. Enjoy the process, have fun and know that these are just opportunities to view life from a different perspective.
