“People tell me that using the art materials in art therapy is like finding another way of talking and expressing things that are difficult to put into words. Through the process of creating images and reflecting upon them, you can make connections with past experiences and present difficulties to help you to develop a greater understanding of your situation and yourself. This can be very grounding, enabling you to see you have more choices and to feel more in charge of your life. Recent research has found that after art therapy sessions participants show lower cortisol levels regardless of their skill.”
