Art therapy is one of the mildest and safest types of psychotherapy, which allows you to penetrate into the inner world of the child and help him restore his emotional state.
Often, non-verbal means are the only way to express and clarify children’s strong feelings and beliefs. In the process of drawing, sculpting, creating an application, sand animation, interacting with natural materials, the child immerses himself in a creative state, relieves psychological tension, and increases the feeling of comfort. In addition, art therapy provides a socially acceptable outlet for aggression and other negative feelings.
Through a drawing, a game, a fairy tale in the process of art therapy, the psychologist helps the child:
- report your fears and get rid of them;
- release strong emotions and experiences;
- reconstruct a conflict and traumatic situation, find a new form of understanding it;
- relax and relieve tension.
We must not forget the obvious: art therapy develops attention, imagination, creative abilities and fine motor skills, prepares the hand for writing.
After art therapy classes, the child’s psychological condition improves, self-perception changes, and anxiety decreases. Parents receive feedback and recommendations from a specialist.
