Creative therapy

Some feelings do not have words yet. Art, music, and movement give them a way out before language catches up.

About this episode

Have you ever felt something that you couldn't put into words? In this episode, let's delve into Creative Therapy, which uses art, music, and movement to express what talking alone can't!

Key takeaways

  1. 1

    Expression does not require talent; the process is the point, not the product.

  2. 2

    Making something with your hands regulates the nervous system in its own right.

  3. 3

    A drawing of a feeling can be discussed more safely than the feeling itself.

Try this tonight

Draw what today felt like using only shapes and colors. No figures, no words. Then write one sentence about what you see.
