Therapy and Benefits

Expressive Art Therapy

Depression usually makes a person mute. They become void of the urge to speak and express themselves. This is where expressive arts like art, music, drama come to play as therapy. It becomes a channel through which clients express their guilt, regret, anger, shame and so on. Art therapy helps to reduce anxiety and cuts down on noxious thoughts and emotions. It helps the individual to figure out the area they have to work upon and the boundaries that need to be created.

The counsellor helps the client to identity their problems, work on finding solutions, follow steps to escalate self-esteem, inculcate positivity, improvise on the communication skills. The mental health of the client gradually starts to improve as cynical thoughts stop bothering them and they become calm and composed.
