IDT - POWERFUL TOOLS FOR SKILLED COUNSELLORS AND SOCIAL WORKERS Interactive Drawing Therapy (IDT) is a powerful way of working, used by thousands of New Zealand and Australian service providers in 'the helping professions'. It offers inspiring and skills-based counsellor-training courses have earned a consistently high reputation for delivering quality, user-friendly, results-based, value-for-money outcomes that are guaranteed to rapidly improve your professional effectiveness and provide you with special tools for assessment and strategic intervention. Interactive Drawing Therapy (IDT) uses right-brain drawing and writing techniques to complement and extend the more common left-brain talking and cognitive processes. DT accesses wise and resourceful parts of the unconscious, and provides us with new tools for understanding and working with the therapeutic process. DT allows the words, images and behaviours of the client to reveal where they are in their therapeutic process, the nature of the underlying issues, and how best to intervene. IDT is a client-centred, process-directed method that follows the natural path of the psyche as it seeks to resolve issues, release potential, and move on.
