History of ExAF
Expressive Arts Focusing ExAF is rooted in European Focusing and its development within the person-centered and experiential approach
Contrary to other usage of the term 'Expressive Arts Focusing' (Rappaport, 2021) Expressive Arts Focusing ExAF encompasses more than spontaneous expressive arts activities without inner guidance than can or cannot lead to Focusing
Expressive Arts Focusing ExaF is intentional in ways of implying a guided process preparing the client for person-centered experiential arts expression. Intention set up is the client's doorway to be equal therapeutic partner
The client's intention set up might be non-specific like finding stress release and wellbeing or resilience. In all cases the intention set up implies to bodily slow down, get grounded and come to presence
