Expressive Arts Therapy is an integrative and purposeful way of using art making, movement, music, silence, poetry, creative writing, storytelling, drama and other forms of the creative arts to active resolution, transformation and healing. It is a client led, relational approach to therapy where sensory and somatic awareness, attunement, connection and resourcing and the arts are used to elicit change.
In Expressive Arts Online Group Therapy, we venture into the unknown together as a community and through the expressive arts access the bodies wisdom. We foster connection in community and find the aligned threads that bind us together and collectively express our grief, pain, sorrow or heartbreak as we shift into the imaginal space of art making, movement, creative writing or poetry. We step into liminal space and trust the process that unfolds.
In group therapy, we invite 8 people to come together and walk through and be held by the ExAT process. In this closed group, the arts are the central guiding element including art making, movement, creative writing, poetry, music and theatre and storytelling.
Within this space we strive to create a supportive container where you can feel safe enough to express, make, move and connect with what might feel like uncomfortable emotions. No art experience is needed to participate in this Group Therapy.
Group Therapy includes one private intake, 10 online group therapy sessions, one private exit interview.
