We all tend to internalise or dissociate from things which are hard to face. However, being able to process difficult lived experiences can enable us to move on to healing. Art psychotherapy can open the door to expressing things which are difficult to put into words. During trauma, our logical brain which controls speech goes offline. This is normal. Our creative emotional brain tries to rescue us but memories can get stuck here and need to be processed. Creative therapy can access these memories and bring freedom. Art therapy is a safe and supportive alternative to traditional counselling or talking therapy.
