Art therapy
The core idea behind art therapy is that patients can use visual mediums as a way of expressing their emotions when they struggle to do so with words. There are several forms of art therapy, but a common form involves the therapist analyzing the patient’s artwork, and deducing the patient’s inner experience through the visual evidence. It’s commonly used for patients with self-esteem issues, or those struggling with self-awareness because the act of creating art can boost confidence, as well as reveal feelings one may not know they had. Art therapy is often done with paint, pen/pencil, and paper, or clay.
