When Thinking Doesn't Help: Solution-Focused Art Therapy LOM® in Münster

Münster, Germany
View all pictures

Summary

When thinking no longer helps, we need something that can lead us to new, unexpected experiences and solutions.
Solution-Focused Painting (LOM®) is a form of short-term therapy in which concerns can be clarified and resolved through painting—directly, using a structured method, and beyond conventional approaches.

Concerns may include:

- past traumatic experiences and memories
- current sources of distress (including physical symptoms)
- limiting thought patterns, old assumptions, intense emotions
- relationship concerns and clarifications
- decisions that are difficult to make
- desires, dreams, abilities
- diffuse unease
- and much more

If all problems could be solved simply by thinking, then we wouldn’t have any.
Sometimes we need different approaches and new experiences.

LOM® Compact
Get started and stay the course—with the help of Solution-Oriented Painting (LOM®), we aim to initiate, clarify, resolve, and acknowledge an issue, and after three days, hopefully conclude the work with a new feeling, a new perspective, and a new attitude, which we then carry over into our daily lives.

We will address your issue together as a group.

Friday 4–9 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m.–7 p.m., Sunday 10 a.m.–3 p.m.

During breaks, participants usually go out together to grab a bite to eat nearby. Of course, you’re also welcome to spend your breaks in the studio spaces and bring your own food.
Just around the corner, the WOLBECKER TIERGARTEN nature reserve is perfect for a stroll, or you can sit on a bench by the ANGEL.

sequence

To begin with, we’ll explore what you’d like to work on.

Based on your concerns, we will then develop a painting task—a metaphor (it doesn’t mean anything, but it can set something in motion) or a recalled image.
The painting is then created slowly and with devoted attention. As you paint, a connection to the image develops, leading to further steps. The painting tasks are suitable for both beginners and experienced painters.

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

Arrival

Münster is easily accessible by car and train. A bus departs from the train station every 15 to 20 minutes for Münster-Wolbeck and will take you almost right to the studio door in about 15 minutes.
