Creative therapy can be a valuable tool in trauma recovery, offering a unique and expressive outlet for processing emotions and experiences. Here are some ways creative therapy can help:

Non-verbal expression: Creative activities like art, music, or dance allow individuals to convey emotions and memories without relying on words, which can be especially helpful for those struggling to verbalise their trauma.

Emotional regulation: Engaging in creative activities can help regulate emotions, reducing feelings of anxiety, anger, or overwhelm.

Empowerment: Creative expression can provide a sense of control and agency, helping individuals regain a sense of power and confidence.

Narrative reframing: Creative therapy can aid in reframing traumatic experiences, allowing individuals to reprocess and reinterpret their stories in a more positive or empowering light.

Mind-body connection: Creative activities can help bridge the gap between the mind and body, releasing tension and promoting physical relaxation.

Social support: Group creative therapy sessions offer a supportive environment, fostering connection and community among individuals with shared experiences.

Personal growth: Creative therapy can facilitate self-discovery, self-awareness, and personal growth, promoting resilience and post-traumatic growth.

If you're interested in exploring creative therapy for trauma recovery, get in touch. 💌

Most people's response to threats fall into one of the following four categories: fight, flight, freeze, and fawn. Here's what each response involves and how your own response can impact your life.

"the best medicine you can bring for sadness is not joy. it is not telling them that they need to move on or get over it or realise how much worse things could be. no. the medicine for a spirit in mourning is tenderness. and warmth. and compassion. and connection. and presence. sit with someone in their grief and let them cry their ugly tears. do not shine and scurry grief away. they must walk through it. this is love. to abandon all that we think we know and be so full of grace that we are invited in to partake in someone else's darkest moments. what an honour it is to simply be a light. the antidote for sadness is love. it is always love."

Hi everyone.👋 It's Paige here.😊 I thought I'd share what's happening with me at Golden Threads so if you haven't met me you have a bit of background info and if you have, you might share this info with anyone who might be interested in trying art and creative therapy with me. 🙏

I have been working as an Art Therapist now for over 9 years, running workshops and seeing clients for one on one sessions, for a wide range of organisations and privately through Golden Threads.✨️

I have a Bachelor of Arts Psychotherapy (Art Therapy) an Advanced Diploma of Transpersonal Art Therapy, NDIS clearances and am fully insured and registered with ANZACATA the peak governing body for Australian Art Therapists.👩‍🎓 Part of the requirement for my registration is ongoing Professional Supervision to insure I uphold the standards and ethics of professional practice to provide the best care and service to my clients. 🪂

I'm also a singer songwriting and have been creating music for 30 years🎵🎶

You do not need to have any special artistic skills to benefit from creative therapy. My own visual artwork is quite simple but the insight I gain from creative expression is immense! 🌈

For the last 2 and half years I have been running workshops and seeing individual clients as a contractor for a large Australian wide NDIS company. This has been fantastic experience for me though at times a little frustrating as they are based in the Eastern States so aren't as in touch with WA clients as they could be. Anyway they have now decided to go in a different direction and are nolonger offering Art or Creative Therapy to their clients. So I would like to cut out the middle person and am now offering these workshops privately. I also have room for one or two more individual clients for one on one sessions. I have received incredibly positive feedback from previous clients who felt coming along every session was the highlight of their week. 🌞🌟

I am incredibly passionate about Art Therapy and the work I do and would love to facilitate your journey toward greater personal growth and healing.
If you've ever wanted to experience this life changing modality or know someone who might benefit please get in touch or share these details. 📩
