Therapist Overview
We all have our place in this world and it can be a wonderful fit. Art therapy can motivate you to face challenges, express yourself, and work through unresolved feelings. We are social creatures of habits and attach ourselves to people, places and routines, as it helps to feel safe and grounded. Sometimes attachments are unhealthy and keeps us stuck. We may not be aware of how routines learned during childhood now affects us in being part of a family or community. Art-making helps to create healthy attachments and art therapy has all kinds of gluesâsome create strong bonds, some are temporary, and some sparkle. Art therapy invites you to become aligned with your values and beliefs. A healthy sense of self includes acceptance, growth, and a belief that each day you did your best. All of us are walking a path, stepping on stones, and have a story to tell. In telling your story, you can see each chapter and build a healthy perspective of the past, present and future. For those who have trouble talking, art can help you relax and share your concerns when you feel ready. Relationshipsâincluding therapeutic ones–entail healthy boundaries, trust, emotional intimacy and kindness, especially when in conflict. Therapy helps to see that we are spiritual beings with a life force that drives us to find purpose and understanding.
