    Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses art-making activities to help people express and process their feelings and experiences. It can be used for a wide variety of individuals, but is commonly used for abused children, cancer/HIV patients, people with autism, and disaster victims. Art therapy allows people to tell their stories through visual means when words may not suffice. It can help reduce stress, depression, and trauma while improving thinking and providing feelings of health, joy, and comfort. While some myths exist, such as that it is only for artists or can diagnose the meaning of artwork, art therapy is truly for anyone and simply aims to help people freely express themselves nonverbally.

    Myths
    There are a lot of myths about art therapy, that may sway
    people one way or another.
    1.

    It is for sick and disturbed artists? No, everyone has their


    own battles they are fighting. You dont need any art
    experience to use it as an outlet to express your feelings.

    2.

    Art therapists can tell you exactly what your painting


    means? No, but art therapist are trained to open show you
    how to open your mind to what it may mean to YOU.

    3.

    Helps bad paintings look better? The point of it is not to


    make you a better artist, but to freely express things you
    may not be able to in other ways. Like.. Speaking, talking,
    writing etc.

    Some Interesting
    facts

    Some doctors have found that some cancer patients


    who used Art Therapy used less pain meds and felt
    better overall afterward.
    Within 8 weeks kids with asthma had decreased
    anxiety and used inhaler less.
    Dimentia patients had improved cognative skills,
    thinking and memory.
    Creativity itself keeps the brain flexable and active
    into old age.

    Initially children with PTSD when drawing would draw


    pictures with little to no helping figures such as police,
    firefighters, ambulance. Symboling that they felt
    nobody could help them. After 3-6 weeks of art
    therapy they were asked to draw the same picture and
    there were more figures of authority and help. (Adults,
    police, ambulance, firefighters, etc.)

    Steps
    Breathe
    Assess the problem sometimes they
    cannot assess the issue it is found later
    threw therapy.
    Can you put this issue into a drawing,
    collage, or painting?
    Drawing stimulates the person to see for
    themselves the problem.
    Art process in itself is healing and
    repairative on many levels.
