One of the great things about Expressive Arts is that it uses all the art modalities. Poetry is a modality that really helps crystalize ideas and thoughts, especially when read aloud! #ajexpressivearts #exat #expressivearts #expressiveartstherapy #poetry #poetryinexat #poems

A warm reminder! Healing is not linear. It's okay to stumble. Healing isn't easy! It's not a straight path. Be gentle with yourself! #ajexpressivearts #exat #healingisaprocess #healingisnotlinear #healingisnoteasy #itsokaytobenotokay #healingjourney #begentlewithyourself

What is Expressive Arts Therapy? Expressive Arts Therapy is an arts-based approach to therapy that engages and supports our client/ "expert" through a process of creative expression to help them reconnect with their inner resources. --we believe that each client is an expert of their own experiences-- ... As student Expressive Arts Therapists, we offer interventions that integrate the use of visual arts, creative writing, drama, music, voice, and movement as catalysts for personal inquiry, discovery, and growth. As we explore our relationship with anxiety, depression, and anger through the arts, we do: Grounding exercises Arts explorations Individual and group processes We believe that EVERYONE has their inner resources to be with their anxiety, depression, and anger...

Anger is new to me. After years and years of supressing anger, of not having access to anger, there were a lot of internalized misconceptions about anger. This is a reminder that anger is okay, anger is normal, anger is valid. #anger #angry #angerishealthy #asianthearpist #mentalhealth #emotions #emotionalhealth #feelings #ajexpressivearts

Depression is not just being sad. It's much more than that. It affects not just how a person think or acts. It's not something someone can just "get over" or "choose to be happy instead". Let's treat those who have depression with compassion and tenderness! #ajexpressivearts #depression #depressionisreal #sadness #depressionsupport #depressionawareness #mentalhealth #mentalillness #mentalhealthmatters

Let's talk about anxiety... coping strategies and resources There is a lot of different meanings to anxiety. Everyone experiences it differently. tension... apprehension... worry... fear... dread... panic... stressed... overwhelmed... feeling disconnected... disorienting... picking up from each other... (and so much more) "ALL experiences are valid!!!"... Caring for ourselves during our experiences of anxiety looks different for all of us at different times as well. Some may find benefits from processes that focus on the body, on the mind and body connection, on the thinking brain... As student Expressive Arts Therapists, we provide therapeutic support in a group framework that honors and focuses on art-making in relationships (and we may add on other approaches too). As we explore our relationship with anxiety through the arts (visual, poetry, words, sounds, voice, movement, etc), we do: Grounding exercises Arts explorations Individual and group processes We believe that EVERYONE has their inner resources to be with their anxiety... We are here to witness, hold space, gently nudge you and support you during our time together.
