THERAPEUTIC ART
WHAT IS EXPRESSIVE ARTS?
Expressive Arts Therapy utilizes the creative process in exploring difficult and overwhelming thoughts and emotions. Not only can the act of creating be very regulating and therapeutic, but it is also a great way to encourage mindfulness and can support somatic awareness when working with trauma. The arts are a great way to encourage self-understanding, self-discovery and empowerment.
The creative therapies offer a wide range of expressive modalities that can include working with paints, clay, movement, writing and music.
The arts offer a great way for individuals to externalize and process difficult conversations from a safe distance and to help individuals express themselves when language is a barrier or when words are not enough.
