How Art Therapy Can Contribute To The Creative Process

By Deborah Murphy


People benefit from different types of therapy programs, depending on the situation. Some folks prefer to get something off their chest by talking about the issue. However, often they don't realize how involved the problem is and in a case like this the psychologist may suggest art therapy. This is something that has advance over the years.

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.

Art therapists in Camarrillo, CA are trained especially to know what to look for when they assign different projects and assignments. A child may draw their family home without any doors or it could be dark and stormy. The same child may present their family with expressions of anger. This could be an indication of abuse.

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.

Therapists have been trained to look for certain things and will sometimes talk to the folk about what they were painting or drawing and how they were feeling at the time. Sometimes it is feelings of rage, and other times it was hopelessness which were revealed in their work. This can relate to someone with suicidal thoughts.

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.
