I
have explained the role of handwriting analysis in my hypnotherapy practice and
identified some specific traits I look at in a person’s handwriting in three of
my previous blogs (Handwriting
Analysis for Hypnotherapy; And
Your Handwriting Says; And
Your Handwriting Says, Part 2). Like handwriting, the doodles we draw in
the margins of a page or around letters or words also provides insight into our
subconscious mind. For example, they can reveal if the writer isn’t being
truthful to him- or herself. They can also indicate if the person is stuck in
an emotion or struggling with a problem. Following are some common doodles and
what they suggest about the writer’s personality.
·
Happy face: The person is literally a happy
person.
·
Doodle is at a right slant: the person needs to express
his or her emotions.
·
Doodle is at a left slant: the person tends to repress
his or her emotions.
·
Bunches of flowers: Symbolizes desire for growth;
the person has a feminine side.
·
Geometric shapes (boxes, rectangles): The person
is able to see all sides of an issue.
·
Triangles: This person can also see all sides of
an issue; tends to be rational and wants things to come to a head.
·
Symmetric shapes: indicates that the person
tends to be law-abiding, conformist.
·
Angular shapes: indicates that the person is
less open to others.
·
Dolphins or porpoises, chimpanzees: The person
is playful.
·
Ladders: motivation, drive.
·
Arrow through a heart: Drive/ambition for love.
·
Tic-tac-toe squares or hash lines: The person
feels restricted by other people in his or her life.
Doodles are
universal: in other words, no matter what language you speak/write, it is
common and natural to see these scribbles or drawings somewhere on the page. Sometimes I specifically ask clients to “draw”
how they feel or what they think about something if they cannot express their
thoughts or emotions in written words. I might then ask the person to describe
how he or she feels about the squiggles or objects just drawn.
