Expressive Arts therapy – a purposeful application and integration of art, music, dance/movement, dramatic enactment, creative writing, and imaginative play – is an action- oriented and sensory- based form of psychotherapy.
The core principle of this work is that while we all have different capacity for creativity, we all can be expressive in one way or another, and there are many ways of being expressive.
It is a way to help people discover forms of expression that are self-regulating, engage in enlivening self-exploration, communicate challenging sensations and experiences in reparative ways, and ultimately supporting recovery by imagining new meanings.
Expressive Arts Therapy offers a possibility of letting the senses tell the story, self-sooth brain and body, engage somatically, enhance non-verbal communication, recover self-efficacy and rescript dominant narratives while imagining new meanings and restoring aliveness.
