ART THERAPY is communication through the visual arts; thus allowing a sense of emotional healing. Art therapy enables people to express current issues freely where there are no words. Art therapy explores not only the product but the process as well; finding understanding in the self and his or her work. Art therapy also brings stress relief, which is essential for cancer and migraine patients. Art therapy sessions can extract long-hidden emotions and childhood memories. Events that occurred as small children reveal themselves through art therapy. Art therapy does especially well for sick, young children as they find means of coping with their symptoms, stress and traumatic experiences. In closing, art therapy is probably the most harmless form of self expression and a way to find spiritual, emotional and mental health.
