Art therapy uses artistic expression as a transformational tool to reveal life insights and facilitate self discovery. The process of creating art ( be that doodles or paintings) encourages an internal dialogue between the conscious and unconscious mind revealing your deepest truth and allowing learning and healing to take place.
Art therapy
is effective for all ages. Sessions with adults begin with sharing
where you are at in life and the changes you would like to see.
Spontaneous
art emerges and a dialog between you and the image is facilitated in a
safe, exploratory space. New perspectives emerge, insights arise and
the answers that were buried but there all along are revealed. With
this process, the insight itself is transformational and liberating.
The approach used with children is different in that they gravitate naturally to the art as a form of play. The therapy takes place in what is expressed through the art, which can be either a release of frustration or a means to create and share a story that most often reveals aspects of their lives and challenges.
For adults, besides requiring no artistic skills whatsoever, art therapy has the benefit of enriching personal creativity and vitality while aligning you with what you most wish to live.
