How Art Therapy helps ?
Communication is the focus of art therapy . We interact with and express the nonverbal part of ourselves, which accounts for roughly 70–90% of our communication.
This nonverbal expression is brought to life via the use of art supplies, movement, and play. It addresses who we are, how we feel, our life story, and fresh opportunities.
Words we see and hear make us feel safe because they are familiar, but our nonverbal half is broader, usually hidden, and we give it shape through art therapy procedures. Then put words to what was discovered in the nonverbal expression. How lovely is that?
Art therapy can help reduce stress and anxiety for people living with pain. In addition, experts say that the practice may be useful for people living with other conditions, such as:
- Anxiety
- Eating Disorders, alongside standard treatments
- Substance use disorders
- Stress
Practitioners say that art therapy can also help people enhance specific skills by:
- Improving their approach to conflict resolution
- Enhancing social skills
- Managing stress
- Strengthening their ability to self-regulate
- Improving their understanding of themselves
Art therapy can be helpful for children facing the following specific challenges:
- Childhood trauma
- Disabilities and special educational needs
- Criminal conviction as a juvenile
- Chronic asthma
It can also benefit children who are not dealing with one singular issue but face a variety of challenges in life.
