Doodles

Hand-drawn sketches and visual metaphors relating to my academic and therapeutic work

Doodles included in the book, Controlled Explosions

Here is a collection of hand-drawn doodles that are included in the book, Controlled Explosions.

There are a total of 33 figures in the book, of which 17 are presented as hand-drawn ‘doodles’. These have been published in their original hand-drafted form to give readers a more personal sense of the sketching and working on ideas that went into developing the book.

Doodles relating to each member of the Bomb Squad

There are 15 Bomb Squad members in total, split into 3 units (self-sabotage, self-criticism, self-harm). Here are some of the doodles I’ve drawn to help bring each of these characters alive (in my imagination), reflecting different things like their roles and function, and how/where they show up in our bodies.
