Balancing Structure and Creativity: Introducing the Multisensory Balance Model

The purpose of the following work is to introduce the tool of the Multisensory Balance Model. The tool was created by combining the strategies and structure presented in PPT and knowledge about the impact of sensory interactions on the psychotherapy process. The combination of knowledge and techniques from Positive Psychotherapy (Balance Model, capacities, and conflicts), as well as art therapy and neuroscience, has created a tool that enables an experienced therapist to work across multiple sensory channels. The combination of different structures, materials, weights, and colours stimulates the imagination and enables the discovery of new meanings for both the patient and therapist. In the following study, we present the main assumptions of the project, its appearance, as well as a description of the possibilities and doubts related to the use of the tool. We also present potential areas in which the use of the tool could be beneficial and enriching for the psychotherapy process. We also demonstrate how to integrate knowledge from the field of Positive Psychotherapy with the characteristic work methods of art therapy.
