Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that incorporates the process of art making as a means of shared communication in the therapy process. Art therapy is about bringing what's in the unconscious to the surface. Unlike “talk therapy”, art therapy is a sensory-based experience (tactile, olfactory, auditory and visual-spatial). Techniques used in art therapy can include drawing, painting, colouring, mask making, sculpting, or collage.I also do stikbot animation on an iPad with older or more resistant clients. Art therapy is the relationship  between our inner and outer world. As a client creates, the therapist begins to see the client's inner world  and how they live in that world. Through exploring their art, the therapist can look for themes and conflicts that may be affecting the client's thoughts, emotions and behaviours. Additionally, the sensory experience of creating art has a positive impact on the brain, neuroplasticity and the brain's ability to change, adapt or heal. Art making is for all ages and serves as an excellent tool for coping, self-discovery, self-regulation, healing and adapting to change.
