Art
Therapy provides the client with critical insight into emotions, thoughts, mental
health issues and feelings. Art Therapy can help a person visually express emotions
and fears that they cannot express through conventional means.
Art
Therapy is often prescribed for chronically and terminally ill patients to help
them cope with pain. It can promote physiological healing when patients identify
and work through anger, resentment, and other emotional stressors.
Other
benefits of Art Therapy include emotional releasing or healing, increased awareness
of self, increased ability to cope with traumatic experiences, increased personal
fulfillment and confidence. Art Therapy also promotes relaxation and is great
for relieving stress.
