ABSTRACT
Academies of the performing arts sometimes present exercises to help loosen up the actors, ranging from mumbling nonsense sounds to whistling like a bird or roaring like a lion. This chapter offers an assortment of musings that pragmatically aim to liberate us from any framework that imprisons our natural ability to bring forth creative therapy. Creative therapy focuses on bringing out the transformative nature of whatever a client presents and performs. It utilizes what is on the table, using it as grist for the transformative mill. Strictly speaking, creative therapy does not treat; it helps transform. The professionalized rituals of thinking and treatment called “psychology” should be silenced. Anything that further concretizes the problem is not allowed in the room. The interaction between therapist and client is the locale of transformation in therapy. It does not take place within the client and it is not caused by the unilateral action of a therapist.
