Fundamentals of Graphotherapy
Graphotherapy was first used in the 1930’s in France, by psychologist Dr. Edger Berillon. Others tested his theories at the Sorbonne University in Paris, and their results seemed to support his findings. Various studies have been published on this therapy, and today it is an established science with many graphotherapists changing the lives of people for the better.
The theory behind graphotherapy is that when the brain guides the hands and fingers to put the writing in a particular way, the person’s moods and thoughts affect the handwriting; and therefore if the reverse is done, the affect of change of handwriting would force the brain to change the way it used to think and behave earlier.
For instance, open "o" and "a" reveal that the person is a man of many words. If a change is to be done by changing handwriting, and the person closes all his letters, then his brain would signal to him not to talk excessively.
Graphotherapy should be carried out by a person who is sufficiently trained in graphology and who understands the affects of any change that could come on a person by changing their handwriting. An inappropriate change may affect a person negatively, rather than what was intended. In a real life example, a person was having traits of shy nature and was sensitive to criticism. A change made him outgoing and very open; but his ability to listen to his criticism remained negative, which made him pick fights and even going out on drinking bouts. To make the change work well, both of his traits should have been changed simultaneously.
