Art therapy involves the use of creative techniques such as drawing, painting, collage, colouring, or sculpting to help you express yourself artistically and examine the psychological and emotional undertones in your art.
With the guidance of the art therapist, you can “decode” the nonverbal messages, symbols, and metaphors often found in these art forms, which may help lead to a better understanding of feelings and behaviour so that deeper issues are resolved. It is therefore a process than relies on symbols rather than words to make your internal experience known, accessing the subconscious and unconscious to build a bridge to self-awareness and healing.
