Non-Verbal Expression
Trauma expressive arts therapy allows individuals to express their emotions, experiences, and thoughts in a non-verbal way. Sometimes, trauma can be difficult to articulate verbally, but through art, individuals can communicate and process their feelings without relying solely on words.
Safety and Control
Expressive arts therapy provides a safe space for individuals to explore their trauma at their own pace. It grants them a sense of control over their creative process, allowing them to navigate and delve into their experiences in a way that feels comfortable and secure.
Integration and Healing
Through the creative process, individuals can explore and integrate fragmented aspects of their trauma. Engaging in art-making can help in processing and making sense of the experience, leading to emotional healing and a greater sense of self-awareness and resilience.
How does expressive art therapy differ from art therapy?
Expressive Arts Therapy is a holistic approach that combines multiple creative forms—like painting, music, movement, and writing—to support healing and self-expression. Unlike traditional Art Therapy, which focuses primarily on visual art, Expressive Arts Therapy encourages using various art modalities to engage the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—for deeper exploration and transformation.
How do I get ready for an online expressive arts therapy session?
For an online session, make sure you have a quiet, private space where you feel comfortable. You might want to move furniture if you need space to move around. Headphones or earbuds with a microphone can help block distractions and make it easier to focus.
At the start of the first session, we’ll talk about your space, the art materials you have, and what types of art interest you. This helps us plan a session that works for you.
What can I expect in an expressive arts therapy session?
In a session, you’ll use art to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. It’s a way to better understand your life and emotions. Some people might not use art and instead talk about their feelings, which is also okay. The session is led by what you feel comfortable doing. You’ll reflect on your thoughts and feelings in a mindful way, using art to explore important themes in your life. These could be things you bring to the session or things that come up as you create. Anything you share during the session is met with respect and understanding, and the focus is on working together, not analyzing or judging.
What kind of issues or conditions can expressive arts therapy help with?
Expressive arts therapy can support a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress, and self-esteem issues. It helps individuals process emotions, build resilience, and find new ways to heal and grow through creative expression.
Do I need to have artistic skills to benefit from expressive arts therapy?
Not at all! You don’t need to be good at art. Expressive Arts Therapy is about the process of making art, not the final product. It focuses on the experience, not skill.
