What is creative therapy?

 

Creative therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses artistic creation (drawing, painting, collage, sculpture, etc.) to get in touch with a person's inner life (feelings, dreams, unconscious, etc.), to express and transform.

This practice is widespread in health sectors. It is used as a form of intervention in psychotherapy, especially in people who have difficulty expressing what they feel with words, in young children and in physiotherapy to develop more self-confidence and promote rehabilitation.

 

What happens during a session?

 

In art therapy, the purpose of the process is not artistic. We are not concerned with the quality or appearance of the final work.

The therapeutic approach consists of gradually allowing the inner images to emerge, which may reflect past experiences as much as dreams to which one is striving. The creative gesture calls on the body to move to create a concrete work. In the same vein, it appeals to the imagination, intuition, thoughts and emotions. The images or forms thus created can, in addition to revealing certain aspects of oneself, generate a vision and new behavior that will contribute to physical, emotional or spiritual healing.

We use different materials to express your emotions in the way that suits you: painting, coloring, wood carving, drawing, mandalas, singing, music,...
