I jumped from one tool to the next but nothing was ever quite right. Then I found doodling. Doodling was the missing piece. Doodles created results where before I was running in circles, afraid of making mistakes, looking stupid, and being seen. By making simple doodles, I gained courage and confidence.

8 Keys Doodle Therapy Will Change Your Life!
Cognitive Behavior Tools or CBT
CBT is a common therapy tool. This tool helps us to reframe our thoughts. Cognitive means what our brain focuses on. Behavior refers to the actions or inactions we take. Our thoughts create feelings, which create actions, which create results. We have more power over our results than we believe we do. Doodling helps teach our brains to knew ways to think, feel, and act.
Compassionate Change vs Beating Ourselves Up
We can beat ourselves up or we can use compassion to create change. It’s time to treat ourselves differently. Doodling gives us the opportunity to see ourselves as beautifully human. How would it feel to stop yourself up and start loving ourselves instead? No “fixing” required.
Radical Questioning
Stop deleting your negative thoughts and start questioning them instead. Asking ourselves “Why me?” has no good answers. But asking powerful questions, such as “Would everyone think this is true?” We gain a different perspective. With a new perspective, we see how our thoughts create our reality.
Compassionate Witness
Using the power of creativity, we give ourselves the gift of being compassionate witnesses to our pain. We may yearn for someone to see, hear, and understand our pain. We are uniquely qualified to understand our own pain and to help ourselves heal.
Divine Scientist
Doodling allows us to experiment with new thoughts, feelings, and actions without believing we are inherently broken when they go wrong. Divine scientists look at everything as just data. Our emotions are no longer tied to the outcome. We are just scientists trying to see what will happen with the next experiment.
Daily Mental And Emotional Health
We have neglected our emotional and mental hygiene for far too long. Doodling gives us ownership of cleaning out our brain and choosing our thoughts and emotions on purpose. Daily mental and emotional cleaning is the key to lifelong mental and emotional health.
Gain a New Perspective
When we doodle our experiences, we can gain a new perspective on ourselves, others, and the circumstances. Through doodles, we see things in entirely new ways. Giving us the ability to reframe experiences into empowering and healing doodles.
