What is Art Therapy?
Art Therapy provides a means of communicating how we feel to others. By expressing our inner world, we can better understand ourselves and find meaning in our creations. It also helps process emotions, past trauma and can support us to move towards positive goals.
The nature of using our hands can gets us out of our busy minds and into a relaxed and contemplative state. Research also indicates the act of creating, similar to meditation can support our wellbeing through improved brain function and mental and physical health.
Creativity can help you move from confusion and blocks to feelings of clarity and freedom. It makes the unseen seen. It provides a nurturing and supportive space for our subconscious to speak, so we can make meaning of our inner life.
We have infinite wisdom and knowledge within us all, we just need to listen and look inside.
Art therapy is available to everyone, young and old, we are all creative!!!
