Art Therapy:
Art Therapy for Adults
Art therapy is the process of creating, uncovering, and expressing the many feelings that cannot be put into words. Sometimes there are no words to describe what one has experienced, and even if there were, one is often unable to articulate them because of pain, shame, or grief. Art therapy provides a safe and natural means of expressing strong feeling.
Art therapy uses painting, drawing, sculpting, and other visual art media. These self-expressive processes allow persons to see and experience more clearly their inner selves, offer insights beyond the scope of the reasoning mind, provide different perspectives, and serve as avenues to blocked feelings and issues that might not readily surface using traditional therapy.
The creative process itself is healing. It has a way of energizing, nurturing, teaching, and mirroring our true selves. Most of my clients find that the process of creating art is soothing and facilitates expression of thoughts and feelings not expressible in words. The creative process goes beyond pain and anguish and taps into one's inner spirit.
