Untwisting and reshaping coils
This intervention begins by first introducing Julie to the concept of grounding to help her manage her anxiety. Julie will then be instructed to shape the clay into a tight coil to represent her anxiety. She will then uncoil it while reflecting upon its changes in shape. Julie can reshape the coils and answer these questions: what did the coil look like first? How does it appear when less tightly knotted? How can you relate to the coil? What do you do to unwind? What would you like to do in the future to reduce stress?
