The training is aimed at art and psychotherapists who want to initiate and accompany change processes specifically through painting. LOM® comes into play precisely where thinking, talking, and expressing oneself are not enough to help.

With LOM® training, you will complete a certified continuing education program. Participation requirements - Suitable basic training in psychotherapy/art therapy, e.g., completion of advanced training in guided painting/person-oriented painting therapy/art therapy
- or completed psychology degree with completed psychotherapy training - or equivalent In addition, participation in at least one LOM®live orientation block is mandatory for admission to the LOM® training program. It serves as an opportunity to get to know each other, provide orientation, and inform you so that you can learn what can be worked on with LOM® and how to work with LOM®. We work in a practical way, allowing each participant to experience the LOM working method and its effects on an issue of their own choosing.

LOM® solution-oriented painting therapy is a visual method that can be used in painting studios as well as in coaching sessions, classrooms, and therapeutic practices. It is equally suitable for groups and individuals. The aim is to replace disturbing images in the brain with non-disturbing images. The images are selected in relation to specific concerns before painting and then painted in their perceived or simplest form. The aim is to create a new, neutral impression. (B. Egger) The LOM method includes a specially developed anamnesis and diagnostic method as well as a specific intervention technique.
