Sometimes words are simply not enough to express all that you experience in life.
In those moments, non-verbal expressions such as art making can provide a safe, healing space for you to re-member your courage, strength, and resilience.
Art Therapy is a body-mind based therapeutic modality. Art therapy utilizes the creative process of art making and imagery to enhance a healing journey of an individual. In an art therapy session, every moment carries a potential to become an opportunity for changes towards a healing experiences. One can develop a sense of control and mastery via artmaking to enhance one's coping skills. The physical engagement with the art material can strengthen the connection between body and mind of an individual to experience the sense of wholeness.
What do you do in an art therapy session?
An art therapy session looks the same as a verbal counseling session most of the time. A client will participate in an artmaking activity to express him/herself from a different perspective than his/her usual ways of communicating. The image of art produced during a session can be a simple line drawing to an intricately detailed image or anything between the two. It is important to note that the goal of artmaking in a therapeutic setting is to pay attention to the process of the client's experience physically, emotionally, and psychologically, in other words, we are NOT trying to create a masterpiece. Artmaking promotes the the integration of one's sensory/bodily and cognitive experiences to create a sense of wholeness in oneself. Everyday we use words to express and communicate with one another. We are also very good at manipulating our words and thoughts to function in our work places or in our relationships with family, friends, and others. Artmaking can be a useful tool to improve our self-understanding because it engages us to express ourselves differently from words.
You "do not" have to be good at art to benefit from art therapy.
All you need is your willingness to try it out to see for yourself whether you would like to continue with it or not. Each artmaking task will be appropriated to meet your assessed therapeutic needs. If you are able to draw a line or pick out images from magazines, you can benefit from Art Therapy.
The focus of art therapy is on the process of the art making, not on a finished product. You will be guided to pay mindful attention to how you interact with the art making experiences. You are invited to deepen into your here-and-now experiences.
