ABSTRACT
The following intervention is a simple art task that can help a group increase its awareness of the affective-cognitive disconnections between their usual interpersonal patterns of behavior and the way they actually feel. Using art materials activates somatic involvement, which increases awareness of the feeling state and enlarges the amount of the brain used to process this awareness. This intervention can be used in a group that feels emotionally stuck or that expresses inhibitions around expressing unpleasant feelings directly within the group.
