This specialized therapy provides patients with the opportunity to address issues or express themselves in ways that transcend spoken or written language. Significant emotional experiences such as addiction recovery and trauma recovery are likely to prompt feelings or memories that cannot easily be put into words. Art therapy resolves this by providing a unique means of expression.
“My experience with the process of art therapy came at a time of great turmoil and confusion in my life. I was guided through a process that allowed me to explore my issues more deeply and in a way that allowed me to ‘see’ where I was and where I wanted to go in life.”
Art therapy offers a number of benefits to individuals who are being treated for a variety of issues and conditions.
