Therapies are concerned with finding a language to demonstrate
what cannot be expressed verbally. The art therapies
involve much non-verbal work; they can explore even
those painful experiences, which occurred before we
learned to talk. Through the chosen medium and discussion,
it is possible to bring these past issues to the conscious
level to resolve them.
The goal of expressive and psychotherapy is to develop
deeper self-awareness, allowing one to either change,
or accept aspects of themselves that are preventing
them from leading fulfilling and independent lives.
Art Therapy - uses various art products
to create and explore imagery and express feelings using
visual form. This activity will establish and increase
self-awareness and explore conflict in order to reach
deep levels of the mind in order to promote healing
change. Materials, such as, paint, clay, crayons, oil
sticks, fabric, magazines, and paper are utilized.
Movement Therapy – we express ourselves
through our bodies before we learn to talk or walk.
Feelings are conveyed through movement. As we grow,
feelings and actions become less spontaneous and more
conditioned. Movement is a way of bypassing the conscious
mind and making contact with the inner emotional world.
To this end repressed feelings and thought patterns
can be explored in a non-verbal realm.
Music and Sound Therapy – the aim of
this therapy is to express emotions and release tension.
Sound therapy aims to restore disturbed inner rhythms
to their natural state via the use of sound waves.
Psychodrama – is an action method for
individual and group psychotherapy. Participants in
psychodrama recreate life situations from the past to
examine conflicts, problems, and/or unresolved issues.
This action method structures spontaneity and overcoming
blocks. Desired changes become possible.
Psychotherapy – counseling therapies
that rely on supportive and skilled listening in order
to facilitate verbal communication of thoughts and emotions
to deal with personal development, relationship problems,
addiction, anxiety, depression, phobias, obsessions,
compulsions, grief, dissociative and eating disorders.
