Art therapists offer unique opportunities that traditional talking therapies cannot.
Creating art provides insights and understanding that verbal communication alone cannot achieve. This process allows clients to access and express their inner lives, fostering valuable insights, integration, and healing.
While spontaneous art expression is key in accessing a client’s inner life, it is only one part of art therapy. A crucial aspect is the integration of these experiences, which involves creating art with intention or a specific question in mind. This combination of spontaneous and intentional art leads to deeper understanding and therapeutic benefits.
I have curated spontaneous and intentional exercises in my collection of art therapy guides, for you to achieve not just relief from making art but also insights, motivation, and guidance from your subconscious.
