Expressive Arts Therapy
Expressive Arts Therapy combines psychology with various art forms, including music, visual arts, drama, dance, and creative writing. Its primary aim is to facilitate emotional expression, foster self-awareness, explore problem-solving methods, and ultimately enhance social interaction, emotional intelligence, and personal growth and development.
Why is Expressive Arts Therapy needed?
Different art forms can serve as unique tools for communication and expression. Just as the renowned musician Mendelssohn did with his "Song Without Words," he believed that music without lyrics serves as a language for connecting with the soul. Music is filled with personal sentiments and thoughts, genuine and intimate.
At times, certain feelings and thoughts are challenging to express through words alone, and for some individuals, verbal expression is also difficult.
Distinguishing Expressive Arts Therapy from General Art
Expressive Arts Therapy sets itself apart from general art creation due to its distinct therapeutic intent. It aims to facilitate personal emotional expression and self-discovery, foster deeper self-awareness, enhance mental well-being, and encourage psychological growth.
Throughout therapy, professionally trained therapists provide guidance to help individuals explore their inner emotions through various art forms.
