Question 5

What is Expressive Therapy?

Accepted Answer

Expressive arts therapy is a therapeutic form where we use creative processes such as visual art, dance, music, drama, play, and writing, in order to better understand and process our thoughts and emotions.  You do not need to be an artist to participate, you just need to be willing to try something that might be new or different for you.  
More specifically, that can look like sharing meaningful music or lyrics as part of your session, or drawing out a feeling that is hard to describe.  I may encourage you to move your body and explore different postures and ways of expression, and I will always encourage you to use whatever creative outlets speak to you as part of your own process.
