We obviously want to work through a metaphor here. It is known that symbolic representations speak a „different language“ and are prone to many interpretations and viewpoints. Does our client see how he organized his world? Can we assist him so he can see and he himself draw conclusions from it?
There are two ways of doing this. If you are using the drawing technique as a diagnostic tool, you might want to draw what the client is saying. The second way is letting the client do the artwork. Opt for this if you went through diagnostics and would like to go further unto a coaching session with this technique.
