Join a Design Therapy online session on “Getting Unstuck”. It is a body exercise of design coaching for mental, relational and systemic wellbeing.
Even though it will begin with a video call via zoom on a computer or smart device screen, you will soon be asked to literally step back and fill the screen with your entire body to be seen by the other participants in this small-scale group. As a group, you will go one by one, each of you moving into a physical position of being stuck. It’s body work - minimal words and narration.
You will then use the reaction and feedback of the group members to build on the first position and moving beyond the stuckness.
All in all, this session will cascade, moving through 2-3 stages and guide you to a surprising state that shows the impact of your community.
This session on “Getting Unstuck” with design doing was developed in a Design Therapy approach session in 2020 facilitated by Julika Lomas, founder of Pixel Story Studio (Systemic Design Services) and builder of Design Therapy dot org and the exercise was led by Emilia Pucci, Experience Designer at Freshform in San Diego. Both Julika and Emilia are designers in residence at the UC San Diego Design Lab and share several points of connection. This exercise is inspire by body storming in service design and social presensing theatre - you may think of other names. It is inspired by creative ways of integrating the body and holistic self in an experience meant to further self development.
Design Therapy is an approach nestled between coaching and psychotherapy, for individuals, couples and groups in the interspaces of work and home life.
Design Therapy is a design service and experience that evolved in many spaces - in the heads of unsatisfied psychologists who wanted more creativity in their work and in the notebooks of design practitioners who wanted more feely psychology in their work.
It is not one person’s feat, yet rather an approach that springs from a collectively growing community of designers and systemic therapists.
