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.
- 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.
- 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.
