Why it Matters
Often, we may bury challenging emotions deep within in response to past traumas.
The effects of suppressing emotions can include: anxiety, depression, triggered responses, unhealthy relationships, physical illnesses, addictions, or emotional detachment.
When words fall short, art can vividly express these bottled-up emotions.
This is the essence of Expressive Arts Therapy – a journey from the confines of the subconscious mind towards profound self-discovery and healing.
