Alien abductees and contactees frequently demonstrate enhanced psychic abilities. However, if they've not been trained, this potential advantage can overwhelm. This is true for other people not abused or abducted, yet psychically gifted. Alien Abduction Therapy, The Abduction Survivor's Workbook, begins such training. Those who've journaled, or been in therapy or coaching, know the value of verbal communication and understanding. Unfortunately, the verbal mode leaves out many visual memories and may not do justice to kinesthetic knowledge and memory. Since many of us are visual and kinesthetic as well, this approach limits us. We tell our story over and over again, in words, and we get lost in our story. We begin to think the story is the truth. Art Therapy and other strategies break you out of this limited world. If you cannot access the truth with all your senses, or at the very least include the visual and kinesthetic, your understanding lacks it's full power. This is a work book, a book in which you do the work of bringing wisdom to your world. While valuing the verbal, we invite you to go beyond it's limits. You need no traditional artistic skill or even artistic interest. What you need is enough confidence to get into action and the will to explore and express your "self" including that part which is not yet totally conscious. This is an aliveness book. Draw, collage, paint, sculpt, write, create, channel, play. Have it be exciting, fun, enriching, worthwhile and intense.
Author Biography
Peter Woronoff, A.T.R., B.C., has been a pioneering Art Therapist for over 40 years. He began practicing art therapy before most professionals in psychotherapy were even aware of the power of art therapy. He has worked with many abused people during this time and has learnt from them the honor that it is to be human. This book is dedicated to those who've been on the field of life, struggling to maintain dignity in the face of abusive environments. His studies in martial arts have augmented his belief in the power of the human spirit. He began his studies in the 1960's. Most of what he has learned has been in the "softer" martial arts: Aikido, Tai Chi, Shing I, Ba Gua. However, the yin and the yang mingle freely and you cannot have one without the other. He gratefully acknowledges Maruyama Sensei and Mr. B. P. Chan for their guidance.
