Expressive Arts Therapy is an integrative and purposeful way of using art making, movement, music, poetry, storytelling, drama and other forms of the creative arts to activate transformation, healing and resolution. 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.
The intention behind stepping into a closed group process is to come into community to foster connection, insight and healing. To be witnessed by others and to step into challenges with support. Nature based themes may be offered throughout these sessions to support grief, anger, or neglect and processed through artistic expression with curiosity and play.
A felt sense of safety will be slowly cultivated in this online space, so you can feel safe enough to express, to be seen and to witnessed. Nervous system regulating tools, resources and education will also be offered within this group process, to support, settle and ground you, and to build capacity and resilience.
In this ExAT group therapy, I invite 8 people to come together and walk through and be held by the expressive arts. In this closed group, the arts are the central guiding element including art making, movement, creative writing, poetry, music and theatre and storytelling. No artistic experience or skill is needed to participate in this Group Therapy.
This Group Therapy includes one private intake, 8 online group therapy sessions, one private exit interview.
