I sometimes use some coloured stones and crystals which can help you describe and think about complex feelings or family dynamics. I use them only when a client expresses an interest, and if you feel this is a method you would like to work with I would be happy to use this method with you to explore your situation or yourself. Whatever your beliefs are on the science of crystals in healing, it does seem a place can be found for any objects within the therapy room as a bridge to our thoughts, feelings and beliefs. They can also help link us to nature and the earth from which we were born and there is a growing weight of opinion that nature deprivation is cause for increased stress anxiety and depression in modern society. I feel it is very important that the cabin I work from is in a natural setting. Crystals can be used as a anchor to ground you, or a link to feelings and memories. They can help sooth and calm you, and they can allow you to look at emotions and situations more clearly.
