Art Therapy to me is a way of telling a story behind the pain or issue one is dealing with, without saying it aloud. It is an interesting way to deal with the inner self through creative means.
Art therapy is used in a number of ways, tackling different problems with a wide range of people. It has continued to help the victims of Katrina. After all they have seen whether it may be the snakes, the death, and their very own houses being destructed. It surely leaves a mark on them; they deal with trauma, anxiety and depression. Young children specially benefit from this because they are unable to express everything. Another way art therapy has been used is for criminals. It is believed that criminals will be able to feel more part of their community and that it will help them as individuals understand what led them to the crimes they did. Society today needs art therapy; there is so much to take in. Everyone is going through stress, health problems and depression to some extent. In this fast pace world sitting with a blank piece of paper in front of you, in which you can do absolutely anything on gives a relief some freedom. Therapy aside it can be a diary, a person can express anger, humor, happiness .The best part is no one is looking for perfection in it.
