In this brief article Julie reflects on her research inquiry at the Melbourne Institute for Experiential and Creative Arts Therapy stating “Fundamentally the focus of my inquiry is to develop a deeper understanding of how the therapeutic relationship is formed via the use of creative arts modalities while endeavouring to articulate the contributing factors that shape the intersubjective dialogue.” Illustrated with two co-created depictions of shared experiences with her client, the author gives a rich description of the qualities of the intersubjective space and shares her own feelings and her client’s – of being in this space together.
