A new way to experience therapy

Art has the potential to play a significant role in therapy by allowing people to express themselves in a nontraditional way. Using art in therapeutic processes is known as “expressive therapy.” Psychology Today defines expressive therapy as “a combination of psychological techniques and creative forms to promote mental and emotional healing.”
Research from the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia shows that these practices help patients process traumatic events, foster self-reflection and awareness, create emotional and physical connections and help understand children’s mental development.
