Mindful Scribbles

Art Therapy uses the act of art making that creates a non verbal form of communication for clients to explore their inner selves and express their emotions that may be difficult to put into words. Sometimes therapists will use a directive that has a specific purpose in mind for the client so that they are further supported in exploring their inner self. It uses imagery, colour and shapes as part of the therapeutic process. ... Depending on the Therapists resources you will also have access to a wide range of art supplies. Art therapy is practiced on a spectrum: Some Art Therapists practices focus on arts, wellness & mental health and others can focus heavily on psychotherapy techniques and the treatment of a mental illness and mental health issue. It is always important to ask questions of the Therapists so that you have an understanding of their qualifications and the extent of their services they provide. If the Therapist finds that you are in need of further services that they are unable to provide, a referral will be made to the appropriate person and a transition process will be put into place so that the client feels supported. . . . . . . #mindfulscribbles #mindfulbuddies #arttherapy #therapypractice #creativitytherapy #creativity #arthelps #art #arttherapyjourney #therapyjourney #creativehealing #becreative #mentalhealth #mentalillness #arttherapistsart #workingthroughit #justbreathe #mindfulness #oxfordladybosses #shoplocaloxford #woodstockchamberofcommerce #ldnont #londonontario #woodstock #tillsonburg #stratford #deepbreath #inspirationforyou #calmyourmind #inspirationforlife

It’s National Day of Unplugging! But what does that mean?!? Well it means taking a moment or two or three and stepping back / unplugging from what you are doing like work, school, watching or reading the News and social media to give yourself some space. By doing this you are allowing yourself to recalibrate and give yourself a chance to get some perspective and some energy. To do this you can go for a walk, do some art (this can be doodling , a colouring book or a qui...ck craft), play a game with family and much more. For me I love to do some of these activities: make a cup of tea sometimes with a snack and sit by a window or go outside and enjoy the sights and sounds, do some knitting this is something that not only helps me unplug but helps a bit with my anxiety or go for a walk to get some fresh air. What will you be doing to unplug ? . . . . . . #NationalDayofUnplugging #breath #peaceofmind #creativitytherapy #oxfordladybosses #onestep #shoplocaloxford #arttherapy #arttherapypractice #justbreath #arthelps #art #arttherapy #woodstock #oxfordcounty #calm #mentalhealth #breath #onestepatatime #be #becreative #mindful #mindfulness #takesometime #takeawalk #selflove #wellness #selfcare #mindfulscribbles #practicemakesperfect
