Graphology is also known as ‘Handwriting Analysis.’ It is considered an important expressive projective technique to study personality. It is based on the idea that writing gives an opportunity to express an individual’s needs, motives, behavior patterns, conflict & emotions.
Grapho-therapy is a therapeutic technique that involves using a handwriting exercise to bring about positive changes related to personality. The activity of writing happens through the nervous circuit in the left hemisphere of the brain which sends sensorimotor signals to the hand, then we execute writing. Reversibly, modifying strokes through repeated graphical exercises, change in the behavior & thereby in thoughts is possible.
During the session, the client is asked to provide a writing sample with a signature. A thorough analysis of your writing sample is done, and all the aspects of your personality is discussed. Based on the analysis, therapists recommend certain letters or signature exercises for practice to bring about desired positive changes in behavior. The client is supposed to remain regular to follow Grapho-therapy to get effective results.
Grapho-therapy is effective if you wish to work on your habits, characteristics, emotional state or mood, undesired behavior, improve any skills, health, etc.
