Art + Therapy = Art Therapy

I’ve watched art making, creativity, playfulness, ideas and imagination do their wonderful work for most of my life. The word ‘Art’ misleads here really because it is so loaded with what we think it means, and usually what it means most of us feel we ‘can’t’ do. Put simply art in Art Therapy means the act of creation...bringing something novel into this world that didn't exist a moment ago. Deliberate or accident, skilled or not, simple or complex, abstract or realistic, playful or serious, momentary or permanent. It all is novel, and of value because it is from, and of, you. Art speaks. Art helps. Art connects. Art (creation) calms, excites, relieves, relives, tells, silences, laughs, cries, gathers, disperses, understands, confuses, creates chaos and creates order. It does so many things...all through allowing ourselves to touch some art materials without judgement, without expectation, without restriction.

...And then we put it in the context of being with another person: an artist, an empath, a listener, a facilitator, a witness, a teacher, a supporter, someone who knows how to offer you the sensation of feeling held safely enough for you to take a chance, a risk, a leap.

Art is a wonderful passenger in the journey of getting to know ourselves and our relationship with our worlds. It will smile with you if you let it. Come meet yourself in Art Therapy.
