Expressive Arts
Expressive Art therapy offers us an opportunity to examine and understand the impact of life experiences on all levels of one's personality; sensations, perceptions, feelings, thoughts, beliefs, and actions. Using drama, movement, art, poetry, and/or music stimulates the senses and thus bridges the gap between the practical, everyday persona and the unconscious part of the Self that contains relevant memories, important beliefs, and creative ideas. Through expressive art therapy one can connect with and integrate a wide gamut of experiences from internal physical sensations to metaphysical spiritual states.
