Many people ask, "What is Expressive Arts Therapy?". Like Talk Therapy creativity is another tool that can create growth and healing. Think about a time where maybe you were in a bad mood and you started to listen to music and you experienced change. Or maybe you wrote a letter, journaled or wrote a poem and learned something new. Maybe you went to a comedy show, or laughed from contagious laughter with a friend. Perhaps you made a drawing, collaged, or simply went to a museum and were deeply impact by a piece of art you saw. This is not about the product or performance, but rather how creativity can change us, shift our perspective, or help us "drop down" to a deeper understanding of a problem we are experienceing. It's the process of "un-stucking" the stuckness. This is our neurobiology. Our wiring and chemistry can change through creative engagement or expression. Humans are innately creative and the research is growing to demonstrate that creativity heals. Don't take my word for it, check out some of the research if you want to learn more:
