ART THERAPY

Art therapy is a psychotherapeutic technique of non-verbal artistic expression that helps in particular healing of various psychological issues. It also makes people stronger in expressing their feelings and exploring different aspects of their personalities.

The therapy originated in mid-20^th century when doctors noticed that people’s mental stress could be reduced with form of any art techniques which could be applied to all ages, caste, creed or sex without having any specialized skills of art. In normal art artists improve only art skills but art therapists emphasize the ability to recognize the non-verbal symbols and metaphors represented in art works and underlying their meaning and help the people to release their stress

It works on the different psychological issues like:

PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING WITH MENTAL STRESS AND BRAIN INJURY.

CHILDREN ARE SUFFERING WITH MENTAL DISORDERS AND LEARNING DISABILITIES.

CHILDREN ARE HAUNTED WITH EVILS, JEALOUSY, FEAR, ANGER, DOMESTIC ABUSE, AND SEXUAL ABUSE.

They do not feel comfortable to express themselves in school as well as at home. Thus their mind can be attracted to various activities of art according to their choice that help to treat them easily and wash away their problems.

ADOLSCENTS ARE ALSO SUFFERING WITH INTERNAL PAIN OF DEPRESSION

Some problems are engendered by the family members and some  may  have  it with their own physical appearance or the society .Their physical appearance can be treated by physicians but for mental issues if they are treated by psychologists, they may feel scared with their verbal cross examination but art therapists treat them with creative techniques and help to enhance their self-esteem and confidence.

Going through this therapy all psychological matters may be dissolved but only trust in it is required.
