EXPRESSIVE ART THERAPY

The arts offer a non-linear method to engage consciousness at its deepest levels. Music, journaling, dance, sculpture, poetry, drama, and visual arts can all be used as a avenue to greater understanding of one's personal unconscious myth by utilizing the mind and body in a conscious and deliberate way. This is not about being an artist, producing works of art or learning any techniques of art.

In an office setting drawing materials are an easy and effective way to begin the process of interpreting the symbolic language of the unconscious and allowing that knowledge to affect the habitual patterns in a client's daily life.

Drawing, guided visualization, journaling and movement work together to allow an in depth exploration of the psyche. Whether the client desires to challenge negative behavior patterns and/or promote inner growth and self awareness these methods work for a broad spectrum of age groups and personality types.

Expressive Art Therapy can move people out of their heads and into their bodies; out of their old negative self talk into a more liberated realm of self knowledge, self expression and creativity.
