Art Therapy. I am a registered Art Therapist and received my Master's Degree in Psychology AND Art Therapy. Many of my clients are terrified when first offered art materials during a session or that their art making will not be aesthetically pleasing or even fear using materials they have never used before. It is completely normal to feel nervous...most of us stopped making art when we were very young, thus our artwork will often reflect the age at which we ceased creating art in our lives. Art therapy is a way to get images out of your head and on to paper (or other mediums) which might allow you to better process troubling emotions, point to aspects of your thoughts, and open new methods of how to communicate about things that are difficult to talk about. Art therapy can actually be relaxing! Making art may stimulate areas in your brain that increase the feelings of relaxation. Art therapy is NOT only for children. Art Therapy helps children and adults alike express things that might be difficult to talk about. Many people are afraid that the finished product in an art therapy session will be judged. In fact, it is the PROCESS of creating the art piece that is so important. NO formal art training is required and stick figures are welcome! -- female counselor in Burien, Washington.
