Introduction to Expressive Arts Therapy: Solutions for Trauma-Focused Care: Video Course
Introduction to Expressive Arts Therapy: Solutions for Trauma-Focused Care: Video Course
Expressive Arts Therapy is based on the assumption that our clients can recover from trauma and / or addictions, through the process of creative expression. Defined by its emphasis on the multi-modal process of healing (exploring many combinations for creativity, rather than relying on just one art form), the approach conceptually incorporates learnings from Jungian, person-centered and Gestalt psychotherapies – while practically providing therapeutic techniques to trauma therapists and addiction specialists.
