So what is Portrait Healing?

​

Whether we are aware of it or not, we are constantly analyzing others non verbal behaviors in order to respond in relatable ways. These subconscious tools have been innate in us since birth, but what if we used them on ourselves?

 

What would I look like? What non-verbal behaviors would I see that I otherwise wouldn't be aware of? Most of us aren’t running to the mirror to study how our negative feelings affect us. When we are at the mirror, we put on a facade for ourselves so we can feel presentable to the outside world.

 

Using imagery of the self under the microscope of nonverbal communication gives us the tools to deduce the impact of our emotions, paving the way towards self awareness and self compassion. In turn, we then are able to understand and relate to people better. 

 

It makes us better parents, teachers,  counselors, sales people, partners etc. Even someone on the autism spectrum could find great use of these tools.
