Reflect Art Psychotherapy

27/07/2025

Many people are unsure about Art Therapy. Here are a few myths debunked 🎨🖌🖍✍️

07/07/2025

Art psychotherapy, often called Art Therapy, differs from counselling or talking therapies in that the client uses creative media (such as painting, drawing, collage, or sculpture, for example) to convey thoughts and feelings that may be difficult to express.
Group Art Therapy is not an art lesson or class; you do not need to be good at painting or drawing. Artmaking can improve your mental health; help you to process difficult feelings and share experiences in a safe and supportive environment.

🌍 Today is World Mental Health Day! 🧠

We need to talk ABOUT it—Mental Health Matters! 💚
Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It's important at every stage of life, from childhood to adulthood.

For those who are struggling, you’re not alone in this fight. 💪
You’ll get through this. You are important, necessary, and loved! ❤️

Love this 🥰

If your nest feels emptier today…

I know there are lots of transitions taking root right about now, fledglings taking flight…
I hope this poem brings some comfort. It makes me cry.

FIRE-BREATHING DRAGONS

When you were little
I could wash your whole world happy
I could chase the monsters from under your bed
fill your heart with joy
and I did, my love
oh how I did

your life was in the palm of my hands
and I kept you safe there
every day I could

and now, not so little
your world is no longer mine to paint bright
life has you in its grasp
and I can only watch and hope

that your lessons will land first time
your heartaches will blossom
into passion for more
and your worth will stay untouched
like a precious jewel
secreted away in a cave
beyond the bluest of seas
guarded by fire-breathing dragons of gold
and all that magic we made

and you, my brave brave child
are the hero in this story
this tale of love that grew arms and legs
and then wings to fly away with

and I, am the ever proud narrator
who watches from afar
and gathers your chapters
to stitch into the book of my soul

it is, without doubt the biggest blessing of all
to be able to let go
of something so precious
so that something even more precious again
can breathe air

and the best thing about such love is
it never dies, never
when you can no longer see it
or touch it
you can still feel it.

and if you need to imagine where I am
there I’ll be
in our secret cave beyond the bluest of seas
guarding your worth
with the fire-breathing dragons of gold

Forevermore.
