Summary

Solution-oriented painting therapy LOM® according to Bettina Egger and Jörg Merz LOM®live to get acquainted in Münster / Westphalia Friday 2:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m., Saturday 10:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m., Sunday 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. with breaks

We will work practically, with each participant working on a self-chosen issue (symptom, desire, relationship clarification, dream, decision) with LOM, and thus having the opportunity to experience the working and effectiveness of LOM® in practice.

Metaphors and brain-friendly images allow for new, more appropriate, or more helpful inner images that control feelings and actions in such a way that new possibilities can arise in life. If you like the way it works, you have the opportunity to learn LOM® in a training course—in Crete or at the MIHK in Münster / Westphalia.
You can find information on the institute's website The training course is aimed at art therapists 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.

Issues may include: - old traumatic experiences, - current stressful situations (including physical symptoms), - obstructive thought patterns, - relationship problems, - decisions that cannot be made, - wishes that should finally be fulfilled - vague feelings of unease, and much more.

In connection with your concern, we develop a picture task—a metaphor (it means nothing, but can move something), or a remembered image. The picture is then painted slowly and with great attention—with the help of criteria that support optimal effect. While painting, contact with the picture is established, which leads to further steps. The picture tasks are also suitable for those who are inexperienced in painting.

Catering

During breaks, participants usually go out together to eat something nearby. Of course, you can also spend your breaks in the studio rooms and bring your own food. Around the corner, the WOLBECKER TIERGARTEN nature reserve is ideal for walks, or you can sit on a bench by the ANGEL.

sequence

In addition to practical experience with the method, there is also input on content and the opportunity to reflect on the work. Each participant works on their own issue. In connection with your issue, we then develop an image task—a metaphor (it has no meaning, but can set something in motion) or a remembered image.
The image is then painted slowly and with devoted attention. While painting, contact with the image is established, which leads to further steps. The image tasks are suitable for both beginners and experienced painters.

Since solution-oriented painting is a form of therapy that aims at solutions, there are criteria (effective image factors) for the creation of images that support an optimal solution. The steps are also associated with work, annoyance, and frustration. As a painting instructor, I support the painters' abilities to address and overcome difficulties.
