Expressive Arts Therapy

Expressive Arts Therapy is a powerful means of uncovering your healing path. It makes use of your creativity in order to explore and discover unconscious messages. Often, words interfere with one's ability to uncover what is really going on inside. People have the habit of “thinking too much”, when sometimes the answers lie beyond conscious thought patterns. Your creative mind offers a clearer, more objective perspective. In Expressive Arts Therapy, visual arts, music, drama, movement, and other forms of creative expression are used to explore your thought and feeling patterns. We are all expressive beings; no special artistic talent or training are required!

Anyone may benefit from this wonderful healing modality. If you are suffering from chronic illness, emotional pain, lack of self-awareness, self-judgment, or are simply feeling stuck, Expressive Arts Therapy will likely help. There are documented cases of it healing physical and emotional trauma. Expressive Arts Therapy is used in counselling groups, private psychotherapy, and many hospitals’ chronic care wards.
