How Art Therapy Can Contribute To The Creative Process

By Deborah Murphy


Some people find that group therapy is the answer to their problems, while other seem to think that psychotherapy will help them. However, lately more and more people have found that it is the creative process which is able to give them a lot of freedom and work on their healing. Art therapy is something which has grown in popularity.

Both adults and children are encouraged to have a look at this type of creativity and how it can work on healing and improving their situation. This especially helps those who have problems on a day to day basis who are having trouble with depression and anxiety or panic attacks. Some people find it difficult to talk to a therapist.

There are many reasons why someone may struggle to express themselves. Sometimes they have trust issues because of a bad experience from the past. They may have been abandoned or neglected so it is difficult to know who to trust. This is especially true of children. This also relates to those folk who have been abused in their life and they simply can't talk about their ordeal.

This can also apply to those at a drug clinic. Very often a program is designed with variety and having a therapy program like this is definitely something to look forward to. Addicts will be able to have a sense of freedom as they express what is on they heart and release their rage, for example.

This will also be a safety net for the patient. A therapist who is working with someone who has suicide thoughts always has to work on what is safe in their lives and this will bring them back to reality, and out of the negative mode. It has been proven by working in this creative process, the two parts of the brain start to do the healing work. This is something that talk therapy can't do.

A psychologist may refer their patient to a therapist should they feel that they are not progressing in therapy during the talk progress method. For some patients, talking about their problems is useful, but not everyone is able to do this. Research show that the brain benefits from the creative process and this is especially true where memories have been forgotten about. The two sides of the brain start to reconnect.

Social groups are organized in clinics and hospitals in Camarrillo, CA which can be a nice way to socialize with others while participating in projects like these. One can also go to private sessions because some people may become uncomfortable in a session like this. Working in a nice environment surrounded by nature, for example is also helpful.

It is something that the therapist will encourage these patients to turn to because it is a great sense of release, and the negative thoughts, the despair and the hopelessness is transferred into their work. They can turn to this form of therapy at any point. The more they work through their feelings like this, the more they will start to improve.
