A conversation with Lissette Endacott
-
Having personally experienced healing through engaging in creative arts therapy and seeing its impact on other peoples' lives I knew that this was the right field for me.
-
I am passionate about healing through creativity and the empowerment that comes through expressing yourself in unique and meaningful ways. Connecting in a spirit, soul and body way has been a significant step in my life's journey, bringing freedom and hope. Creative Arts therapeutic model works well with a trauma informed, psychodynamic and person centred approach.
-
Life has many traumas because it is part of the human experience. I believe we need support on this journey and engaging in creative arts therapies allows us to discover more of ourselves, how we respond to those around us and the tricky circumstances we can suddenly find ourselves in.
-
I am a creative arts therapist who works with creative materials. There is a breadth of materials that can be used.
-
Most clients can experience catharsis during a session through the engagement of the creative materials. Engaging in art therapy maybe a long term support in maintaining a sense of wellbeing.
-
Engaging in creative arts therapy has helped me to become a more reflective person, overcome obstacles, experience healing and increase insight to myself, those around me and how I respond to my community / environment.
-
I delight in supporting people on their life's journey, being an encourager and facilitating healing.
-
Of course, we all do.
Life is full of ups and downs and we need the psychological resources to delight in the good and navigate the tricky parts. I'm thankful for creativity that allows for a reflective and meaningful way to do this. -
The isolation and disconnect of unhealed hurts, wounds and the increasing polarisation of thoughts. Being able to respect and love people with differing beliefs, thoughts and viewpoints is important, perhaps challenging but rewarding.
-
All things creative has the power to inspire me! Perhaps its a slow walk through the bush hearing the symphony of the bird song, sometimes its the crashing waves along our coastal cliffs, a play / film that hits a tender note within or an art exhibition filled with shapes and colour; and when a client has an "aha" moment whilst reflecting on their creative creation.
