What are the benefits of art therapy?

  • Art can express what cannot be put into words.
  • The process can help make unconscious material conscious.
  • Making art can help with emotional self-regulation.
  • Your artwork may reveal to you themes or patterns in your life.
  • Art can help with processing trauma that has been encoded in implicit, sensory memories that are less accessible through language.
  • You may gain a new perspective from looking at and reflecting on your artwork.
  • Using art materials is a sensory experience that engages the whole body.
  • Making art can be relaxing, pleasurable and fun!
