You do not have to be an artist, an art therapist, or an art history major. You don't have to be a music theorist, band or choir member, or adjudicator. You just have to be curious.
Tuesday Night Meaning Club (TNMC) -
Last Tuesdays of the Month on Zoom.
Therapy is already a deeply human, creative process. We sit with complexity, hold multiple layers at once, and work with experiences very present in the body, in relationships, and in the nervous system.
We’re tracking shifts, meaning-making, and co-regulation, moving between structure and intuition moment to moment as the work unfolds.
The creative prompt is meant to lean into that deeply human way of working, conceptualizing, and experiencing.
A prompt may sharpen or illuminate or change the angle of something that we've been looking at, or get us thinking about something that we haven't.
The songs in this prompt set draw primarily from English-language music to support accessibility in group discussion. This creates limits in cultural representation, which reflects the constraints of the format rather than the depth or value of non-English creative work. Noticing what voices are absent, and how language shapes access, can be part of the reflection.
Tuesday Night Meaning Club
Monthly Peer Consultation Group
Tuesday Night Meaning Club is a monthly peer consultation group for registered psychologists.
We meet for 1.5 hours on the last Tuesday of each month.
Purpose
This is a space for:
-
case reflections
-
treatment ideas
-
theory and modality
-
complex or nuanced clinical questions
-
ethical considerations as they arise
-
sharing “wins” or meaningful shifts in the work
-
what’s been effective and what hasn’t
-
the therapist’s own experience in the room
The focus is on how the work is actually unfolding in practice.
Creative Prompt
Each session begins with a brief creative prompt, a song, piece of art, or sculpture, shared in advance.
Participants are not expected to arrive with a full formulation (this isn't art history class).
The prompt is a starting point for reflection between consultation sessions. The construct, clinical signal, and reflection are the participants to notice within their own personhood as a therapist, work with a client, or case curiosities.
Why a Creative Prompt?
-
Notice connections or patterns
-
Engage with metaphor or symbolism
-
Engage default mode network
-
Open up a different way of looking
-
Signal cases that weren’t top of mind
-
Adds a layer of fun and creativity
Therapy is already a deeply human, creative process. We sit with complexity, hold multiple layers at once, and work with experiences that are often hard to put into words yet very present in the body, in relationships, and in the nervous system. We’re tracking shifts, meaning-making, and co-regulation, moving between structure and intuition moment to moment as the work unfolds.
The creative prompt is meant to lean into that deeply human way of working, conceptualizing, and experiencing. A prompt may sharpen or illuminate or change the angle of something that we've been looking at, or get us thinking about something that we haven't.
Format
Each session includes:
-
brief reflection on the creative prompt
-
open discussion and case-based reflection
-
integration of clinical perspectives
The structure is consistent and designed to support depth and continuity.
Prompt Rotation
Prompts are shared on a rotating basis among group members.
Each participant will:
-
select a brief creative piece
-
share it with the group in advance
At the end of each session, the next prompt is introduced so members have time to reflect before the following meeting.
Group Size
Limited to 8 participants to allow for meaningful discussion and continuity.
