Color Psychotherapy
Color psychotherapy is a therapeutic approach that is aimed at empowering the core of inner strengths, expanding the avenues of expression and creativity, and facilitating processes of self-realization. The course of treatment and learning is based on verbal and nonverbal channels. The work and communication in the therapy room stimulate the unique perception and thinking mechanisms in a way that produces development and change in the emotional worlds.
Learning groups
Patients whose cognitive channel is not suitable for them are able to benefit from this therapeutic approach. People whose cognitive channel is dominant in their actions may find interest in the cognitive challenge that the approach offers, which may serve as a gateway to their blocked emotional channels. The program includes theoretical learning alongside practical experiential experience, which allows for understanding and internalization of the meaning of the approach and its implementation methods. The groups are adapted to therapists from the fields of psychology, psychiatry, social work, art therapy, and other therapeutic fields.
Therapists
Color psychotherapy is a deep and rich psychodynamic therapeutic channel that breaks new ground for a variety of patients and is useful for different therapists and different goals, for individual and group settings. The learning experience of color psychotherapy itself expands the contact of its learners with primary, raw, primitive, and rejected layers in their inner selves, in a way that can help in understanding the transferential and counter-transferential relationship with their patients.
Patients
Color psychotherapy is a unique, inviting, and creative treatment. The approach is suitable for a variety of patients from childhood to adulthood, and it can help with a wide range of difficulties. Because color psychotherapy can achieve change without relying on verbal communication, it is also suitable for patients with limited language skills. Patients whose cognitive channel is not suitable for them are able to benefit from this therapeutic approach. People whose cognitive channel is dominant in their actions may find interest in the cognitive challenge that the approach offers, which may serve as a gateway to their blocked emotional channels.

We have a book
Color Psychotherapy & Slime: A Voyage Through the Substances of Existence
The book presents slime as both material and metaphor. It offers a prism for understanding Color Psychotherapy and investigating the human psyche. Slime serves as a remedy for deep human needs at the individual level in the current semi-virtual world. Throughout the book, the stimuli and reactions invoked by slime are examined using conceptualizations and tools of analysis based on Color Psychotherapy.
"Working with material in general, and slime in particular, addresses this very human need to grasp onto something concrete in order to touch more abstract psychic materials. The possibility of grasping a finite object provides the client with a means to safely explore the infinite realms of his psychological existence. Particularly in the case of slime, its texture will gradually become more slippery and smooth, thereby allowing the client to eventually `free` themselves from the slime`s grip and become separate from it". (p. 34)
