In times of war, peace and balance are like peaks that are hard to reach, but very necessary. And it was art therapy that proved its undeniable effectiveness for people who found themselves in stressful conditions of military operations. It helps to dull the pain of experienced horror, to switch to the joy of creativity, interesting discoveries, peace and contemplation of beauty.

The technique of right hemisphere drawing is a temporary disconnection of the left hemisphere of the brain and connection of the right hemisphere. This technique is aimed at turning off rationality and diving headlong into your inner world, your feelings and emotions. This is a psychological training that allows you to relax, remove the barriers that bind the individuality and creative possibilities of the individual, in other words, to activate the work of the right hemisphere.

Practical psychologists actively use art therapy, namely the technique of right-hemisphere drawing in working with military personnel.

What is the use of this technique?

• First, drawing, like any kind of creativity, helps a person to reveal his potential and non-standard thinking. During the practice of right-hemisphere painting, the senses of perception, imagination, fine motor skills and even memory develop.
• Secondly, it helps to fight with fears: first, with the fear of a white sheet, criticism of one's technique, and then with everyday phenomena.
• Thirdly, this is a great option for relaxation. A person will be able to relax and devote time only to himself.

The acquired skills will also affect everyday life: it will be easier to intuitively find interesting solutions, implement non-standard ideas and not be afraid to express yourself.
