How Art Therapy helps ?
Communication is the focus of art therapy . We interact with and express the nonverbal part of ourselves, which accounts for roughly 70–90% of our communication.
This nonverbal expression is brought to life via the use of art supplies, movement, and play. It addresses who we are, how we feel, our life story, and fresh opportunities.
Words we see and hear make us feel safe because they are familiar, but our nonverbal half is broader, usually hidden, and we give it shape through art therapy procedures. Then put words to what was discovered in the nonverbal expression. How lovely is that?
