Datura painting has the following functions:
1 integrates the fuzziness of consciousness and the conflict between consciousness and unconsciousness.
2 prevent and repair internal division, and achieve the goal of psychological balance and integrity.
Restore children's enthusiasm for life and be able to communicate the meaning and purpose of life with their parents.
Anything that can bring the best mood continuously has a healing effect.
1. Datura refers to a figure with sacred significance, neat structure and Fiona Fang.
Datura painting refers to the process of making these characters through various tools.
Jung (1875- 196 1), the founder of psychoanalysis school, parted ways with his teacher Freud because of his different understanding of human nature. Jung was in a difficult period of spiritual loss for a long time. He spontaneously cured himself by painting Datura and achieved success. Jung believes that Datura is the symbol of the core of the soul, that is, the prototype of the self.
So what is self?
Jung believes that self-nature is the most important prototype in the collective unconscious and the core of the soul.
Self-nature is an innate instinct to adapt to and balance the internal and external environment.
Self-motivation is expressed through images and symbols. Jung insists that Datura is the most typical symbol of self-nature, and Datura can fully express all the motives of self-nature. When the self is presented to the consciousness level in the form of images and symbols in the mandala, if we can understand its meaning, the self can be in harmony with the deepest self.
In the process of drawing Datura, emotion is also particularly important. Whether the power of different stages of self can be exerted smoothly will lead to different emotional experiences of self. By combining emotion with image, we can know which stage of self we are in, and we will have the opportunity to overcome obstacles, let the self-power play its role smoothly, let the self show better adaptability, and then push the individual to a higher stage.
The above is the theoretical basis of Datura painting therapy.
Datura painting is a kind of projection psychotherapy. Datura is a way to carry unconscious content. The symmetry and neutrality of its structure are very conducive to the establishment of physical and mental balance, and are of great help to express emotions, integrate inner conflicts, return to inner harmony and express unconscious information. At the same time, it can also develop the concentration, breadth, distribution and flexibility of attention. Improve self-function.
Second, in general, Datura as a psychotherapy method has no good empirical support in the world.
Many people can temporarily forget their troubles in the process of focusing on coloring, and get a relaxing experience from the state of concentration, so the theme of painting is actually not important, not the magic of Datura pattern. A compulsive child told me that drawing Datura has only a negative effect on her, because she will be very concerned about whether the color block covers the area accurately, can't leave blank, and can't cross the line, so the more she draws, the more anxious she becomes. I think Datura can be a decompression method for normal people who like hands-on activities and visual arts and can control their attention freely, but it is not suitable for everyone.
I hope my answer is helpful to you.
First of all, Datura picture books and Datura painting therapy are basically two concepts.
Simply put, mandala picture books can be used as mindfulness exercises to help people pay attention to the here and now instead of ruminating in their brains. For normal people who like hands-on activities and visual arts and can control their attention freely, it is a way to relieve stress. It will make people forget their troubles temporarily in the process of focusing on coloring, and get spiritual relaxation from the state of concentration, so the theme of painting is not important. The compulsive child has a negative effect when drawing picture books, because she will be very concerned about whether the color blocks accurately cover the area, can't leave blank, can't cross the line, so the more she draws, the more anxious she is.
As a projective psychotherapy, Datura painting therapy has a good effect on establishing physical and mental balance, expressing emotions, correcting inner conflicts, returning to inner harmony and expressing unconscious information. At the same time, it can develop the concentration and breadth, distribution and flexibility of attention. But in the final analysis, the most important effect comes from a therapeutic environment created by the consultant/therapist himself. As a kind of "technology", it produces different effects under the use of different schools of psychological counselors/therapists, relying on visitors, counselors/therapists and their relationship interaction.
The healthy growth of children is what every parent wants most, but it always backfires. Many children will have such and such problems, and mental illness is one of them. So where is the children's psychology department? In fact, it is better for children's mental illness to go to the psychology department of some big hospitals, and there are different methods for the specific situation.
Where can I see the children's psychology department?
The Department of Child Psychology suggests that it is better to go to a regular hospital. It's best to ask your child's opinion and discuss it as a friend. Excuse me, where do you want to go? In the case of satisfaction, try to give priority to children's ideas and respect children. To love children is to respect them and give them what they need. Pay attention to children's psychological feelings. Meet some reasonable needs of children.
How to prevent children's mental illness
1, establish a correct outlook on life
Parents are children's first teachers, so parents must establish a correct outlook on life for their children. Don't always complain about the bad society, and don't like others being inferior to yourself. More is to encourage children to fall in love with life and be friendly to people around them.
2. Children should love from childhood.
what is love ? Does it taste good？ Is it delicious? No, these are not. Love is caring, because she can really feel that you are always with her. She is not lonely and afraid to face what she thinks is difficult.
3. Good boys boast a lot.
The same thing, different people will have different effects when they say it. Good boy likes to brag. When he does something right, encourage him more and he will do it better next time. Because being praised in his heart is a kind of pride. On the other hand, if you attach importance to criticizing him, or do it right without saying anything, he will think that everything I do is the same, and you don't care about me at all. It is not surprising that you have done bad things over time.
4. Strict laws themselves
If the child does something wrong, you tell him not to make such a mistake. Then you must be strict with yourself not to make such a mistake. If the child points out what you did wrong, you should not force him by saying that you are a child and I am a parent, because everyone is equal. You should let him know that no one can make mistakes, instead of being a parent and making mistakes casually.
After reading our introduction, I believe everyone has some understanding of children's mental illness. Life is stressful now, and parents have no time to spend with their children. So many children have psychological problems of one kind or another. Everyone must help the child adjust in time after discovering the child, and need to consult a psychologist if necessary. I hope you can understand the prevention methods we introduced above.
Let me share my baby's literacy experience with you. My baby started reading with him at the age of 3, but my children don't like books that don't move much. Later, I began to look for animation education materials, and used many kinds of early education applications before and after. Advertisements are frequent, and children begin to charge if they don't know the learning effect, until they find that Maoshuai's literacy application can accumulate literacy, develop good reading habits and quickly adapt to young convergence.
Drawing Datura at different stages can reshape the psychological development process. Repair the sense of security in turn, promote psychological differentiation, enhance psychological cohesion and improve the integration function. Explore the direction of life, gain self-transcendence, and finally see nature clearly.
In fact, it is unnecessary for children to draw mandalas, graffiti, emotional paintings and graffiti. , are self-healing.
