Fresh Holistic Health is blessed with our amazing Art Therapist, Lisa Moore. It has come to our attention however that a lot of people are still asking… What is Art Therapy?
Fast becoming one of the most popular therapies due to its versatile ability to assist people, Art Therapy is a unique balance between art and therapy, the specific use of art materials through which individuals can express and work through issues, problems and concerns that they have brought to therapy.
For many people it is easier to use a non-verbal form of communication to make sense of their own challenges and experiences. The creative process stimulates both left and right brain hemispheres involving multiple brain regions, while engaging in any form of art making, painting, drawing, clay, etc, fMRI mapping shows increased activity in our brain involving areas associated with memory, learning & emotional regulation. The basis of this therapy is not about the art produced it’s about the process of creating it, so you don’t need to have any artistic talent!
There are no age limits, there are no ‘experience’ levels required. Art Therapy is for everyone.
