Wanna Be Art Therapy

Hello creatives,

First of all, this isn't art therapy, but it has elements of it.
Art therapy is something I’ve been curious to explore for quite some time.

This also isn't a therapy group, but exploration.
We won't be dealing with any trauma work.

I’m a counselling intern (more about me here). However, I'd like us to play around with some practices, not as therapy but exploration.
While I’m not trained in art therapy, art has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember.

This gathering will be both experiential and a little experimental.

One of the beautiful aspects of artistic expression is that it allows us to access our emotions more easily than words alone. Engaging in creative activities can help reduce emotional stress and anxiety, in part because they support the brain’s production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood.

For now, this will be a monthly online gathering.

You’re welcome to bring any art supplies you enjoy and participate from the comfort of your home while staying connected with the group.

I hope to see you there.

Kindly,
Barchi
MA Student in Counselling Psychology
