Body Mapping: A Holistic Art Therapy Workbook (PDF Download)

Body Mapping is an evidence-based, arts-based practice in which you use colour, shape, and personal symbols to represent where emotions live in your body. Rather than reaching for words, you reach for colour — and what emerges is often more honest, more revealing, and more healing than language alone.

What is inside this bundle?

This digital download includes two complete resources:

1. Body Mapping Workbook (18-page printable PDF)

A science-backed, print-ready workbook your participants take home and keep. It includes a personal Colour and Symbol Key chart, two body outline worksheets, ten structured self-reflection questions, the science behind body-held emotion in plain language, full step-by-step guidance for both individual and group use, and eight academic references. Prints cleanly in black and white or colour on A4 paper.

2. Body Mapping Workshop Presentation (16-slide PowerPoint)

The presentation covers the definition and origins of Body Mapping, the neuroscience research behind the practice, all four steps of the process with facilitator prompts, guidance for running groups and one-to-one sessions, a sample 90-minute session plan, distress management protocols, key academic references, a materials and resources slide, and a pre-session facilitator checklist on the closing slide. Every slide is built in a calm, professional aesthetic using the Morning Mist palette of sage, ivory, and linen tones.
