When I did psychotherapy with kids, I would draw, and parallel play, I would draw along with them. I would usually draw a Buddha sitting under a tree, and it's a little stylized, and I don't know what the Buddha looked like, so I was relieved of drawing a face. Today I stole the sacred heart from Christianity, it's really a metta heart, a compassion heart, sympathetic joy heart, equanimity and love heart.
Mehdi and I got to connect and a talk for quite a while.
The 4-steps of RAIN are:
Recognize what is happening;
Allow the experience to be there, just as it is;
Investigate with interest and care;
Nurture with self-compassion.
