توسيع أدواتي الإكلينيكية: حين يلتقي العلاج بالفن بالصحة الجنسية

في العام الماضي، حصلت بفضل الله على شهادة في "العلاج الجنسي" (S*x Therapy) من معهد ISEE (Institute for S*xuality Education and Enlightenment) بالولايات المتحدة الأمريكية.

هذا البرنامج معتمد من الجمعية الأمريكية للمرشدين والمعالجين الجنسيين (AASECT)، والتي تُعتبر بمثابة "المعيار الذهبي" والمرجعية الأولى عالمياً في هذا المجال.

قضيت الفترة الماضية في دمج هذه المهارات الجديدة داخل ممارستي المهنية. بصفتي معالجة بالفن أعمل مع الأزواج والأفراد الذين يواجهون الصدمات، ألمس دائماً مدى التأثير العميق لصراعاتنا النفسية على الحميمية في علاقاتنا.

من خلال سد هذه الفجوة، أصبح بإمكاني الآن تقديم نهج علاجي أكثر شمولية (Holistic Approach)، لمساعدة العملاء على التعامل مع هذه الموضوعات الحساسة بخبرة إكلينيكية وفي مساحة آمنة إبداعياً.

إنه لشرف لي أن أنقل هذه المعايير والممارسات الدولية لتطبيقها في عملي هنا ولخدمة مجتمعنا العربي.



Expanding my clinical toolkit: Art Therapy meets S*xual Health.

Last year, I obtained my Certificate in S*x Therapy from the Institute for S*xuality Education and Enlightenment (ISEE) based in the USA.

This program is recognised by AASECT (American Association of S*xuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists), which is widely considered the gold standard in the field.

I’ve spent the time since then integrating these new skills into my practice. As an Art Therapist working with couples and individuals facing trauma, I often see how deeply our emotional struggles impact our intimacy. By bridging this gap, I’m now able to offer a more holistic approach, helping clients navigate sensitive topics with both clinical expertise and creative safety.

It’s been a privilege to bring these international best practices back to my work here and with the Arab community.

للعام الثالث على التوالي، يشهد "ويبينار العلاج بالفن في الوطن العربي" نضجاً وتطوراً ملحوظاً.

فخورة جداً بكوني جزءاً من هذا الحراك العلمي المستمر. مجال العلاج بالفن في منطقتنا أشبه بنبتة واعدة، بدأت جذورها تثبت وتنمو يوماً بعد يوم. سعيدة بمساهمتي في رعاية هذه النبتة لتزدهر وتؤتي ثمارها في مجتمعنا.

اكتمل العدد لورشتي 😊

Restoring wings to little angels. 🕊️

They are children. We call them angels, but they have witnessed horrors that no human, let alone a child, should ever have to see.

Recently, I had the privilege of spending a full day with a group of children displaced by bombardment. For nearly five hours, we moved through three different creative activities, creating a pocket of safety amidst the chaos of their reality.

From making kites to colouring a collective mural and tracing their own hands to express their likes and dislikes, the day was about more than just art. It was about agency.

When children face such overwhelming experiences, the "horror" often gets stuck in the body. Through these hours of play and creation, we offered them a language to express what is unspeakable and a moment to reclaim a piece of their stolen childhood.

To see them engage, fly their kites, and even smile despite everything they have endured is the purest definition of resilience. They are not just survivors; they are teachers of hope.

We must never look away from their pain, and we must never stop working to give them back their safety.

A heartfelt thank you to Centre for Muslim Wellbeing, Foundation House, Dr. Khaldoon Fahmi , Sara Mohsen for organising this day and for your tireless dedication to supporting these families. A huge thank you to all the volunteers who dedicated their day to supporting these families! I couldn’t have done it without you 😀

I also look forward to continuing this vital work alongside Tahani Kassem and Rasha Abbas from PARA next year. There is so much more to be done, together.

Individual stories, one shared ocean.

Last week, braving the scorching heat, I had the privilege of co-facilitating a ‘Paint, Sip and Lunch Co-Creation’ alongside Sarah Chong from Femme Solidarity and Helen Tran from MiCare .

The session began with Sarah and Helen leading powerful, honest conversations about equity, safety, and the challenges our diverse communities face, from digital spaces to the housing crisis.

Following their dialogue, I invited the room to transition from words to images. The art therapy directive was simple yet symbolic: every participant painted their own canvas to express their personal reflection. At the end, we brought these individual pieces together to form a single, unified mural.

The depth of what emerged was moving. Participants processed heavy emotions, grief, and hope, with one beautiful reflection centering on the concept of Wansolwara ('One Saltwater'), reminding us that while we journey individually, we remain connected under one sun.

It was an honour to hold the creative space for this transition from discussion to creation.

A massive thank you to Aguer N Athian from Tenants Victoria for her crucial insights, and to Victorian Multicultural Commissioner Sylvia Coombe, FICDA for joining us.

كيف تجعل عميلك “قبطان” الجلسة: سر المعلم الثالث

هل سمعت من قبل عن مفهوم “المعلم الثالث”؟ في فلسفة “ريجيو إميليا” التربوية، يُقال إن هناك ثلاثة معلمين للطفل (أو العميل): ١. المعلم الأول: الأهل والأسرة. ٢. المعلم الثاني: المربي أو المعالج (نحن). ٣. المعلم الثالث: البيئة والمكان.

نحن كمعالجين بالفن لسنا “مدرسين” ولا نلقي محاضرات، ولكن البيئة التي نهيئها تتحدث نيابة عنا. إذا كانت الأدوات مرتبة بطريقة تشجع على الاستقلالية، فإن “المعلم الثالث” (الغرفة) يهمس للعميل: “أنت القائد هنا، أنت في أمان لتختار وتستكشف.”

في فيديو اليوم، أشرح كيف نستخدم هذا المفهوم لتجهيز المواد الفنية بطريقة تجعل العميل يشعر أنه قبطان السفينة، مما يمنحه حرية القيادة بينما نضمن نحن الأمان.

Making your Client the Captain: The Power of the “Third Teacher”

Have you heard of the “Third Teacher”? Derived from the Reggio Emilia philosophy, this concept outlines three guides in a person’s growth:

The First Teacher: The parents or caregivers.

The Second Teacher: The educator or therapist (us).

The Third Teacher: The environment.

As Art Therapists, we aren’t “teachers” in the traditional school sense. We don’t instruct; we facilitate. However, our environment does teach.

If our space is set up correctly, the Third Teacher (the room) quietly signals to the client: “You are capable. You have agency. You are safe here.”

In today’s video, I show you how to set up your art materials so the environment empowers your client to become the Captain of their own ship. Learn how to arrange your space so it acts as a co-therapist that encourages autonomy from the moment the client walks in.

My practice is a living mosaic of every lesson I’ve learned.

I am honoured to share that my latest article, a review of the book A New Introduction to Counselling and Psychotherapy by, Mamood Ahmad has been published in the latest edition of JoCAT online .

Reflecting on this text and writing this review reminded me that no professional achievement is a solo effort. It truly takes a village to shape a therapist. My practice is a mosaic, pieced together from every person who has crossed my path and every lesson I have received. From the joyful moments that brought encouragement, to the difficult challenges that built my resilience and helped me clarify my own voice and identity.

I am here today because of the many teachers who guided me. To name a few: Theresa Van Lith, Pam Hellema, Caryn Griffin, Sally Goldstraw, Tess Crane, Ange Morgan, Madeleine Chelini, ... thank you for your impact on my journey. I am deeply grateful to my lecturers, my peers, my supervisors, and every individual who has crossed my path.

I invite you to read the full review here: https://lnkd.in/ggcgr3as
