Drawing and conflict

When we draw something while we are in conflict, we can map the conflict out and represent it in a safe space - on paper. It creates distance between the conflict and the person. 

• It may reduce tension. It can make people see themselves as builders of their new reality.

• Drawing can build collaboration between people. When working on a project, drawing the framework of the conflict can result in two parties represented together on one piece of paper.

• Drawing can contain people’s emotions in addition to their words.
