These trees are embodiment of different kinds of lives. So when the metaphor is used as a therapeutic tool or approach, it gains different dimensions, different identity not only for the tree itself but also for the artists.<\/p>\n<p>This approach enables people to speak about their lives in ways that make them stronger. It involves people drawing their own \u2018tree of life\u2019 in which they get to speak of their \u2018roots\u2019 (where they come from), their skills and knowledges, their hopes and dreams, as well as the special people in their lives. The clients then join their trees into a \u2018forest of life\u2019 and, in groups, discuss some of the \u2018storms\u2019 that affect their lives and ways that they respond to these storms, protect themselves, and each other.<\/p>\n<p>This metaphor can be used with clients experiencing different issues, whether on individual or collective levels. The beauty of the tree is that it is approachable, non-judgemental and life giving. And so is the metaphor, when used appropriately, this creative art technique is a great counselling technique and can be used complimenting genograms, exploring self as well as family dynamics.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about its specific uses, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifecoachingwithlindsay.com\/downloads\/Prosperity_Tree_Handouts.pdf\">http:\/\/www.lifecoachingwithlindsay.com\/downloads\/Prosperity_Tree_Handouts.pdf<\/a> isa starting point.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have always been a fan of trees-specially the big sprawling ones like banyan trees, with their ever embracing branches, deep roots and lots of nurturing shades.
