Professional Diploma Course in Art Therapy by Ofbeatt Psychology
What is Art Therapy- Art therapy, is a creative form of psychotherapy, to
enhance mental, emotional, psychological and physical health of the clients,
through diverse creative forms, such as painting, drawing, sculpting,
collaging, and more, it enables people to express themselves, explore their
feelings, and share their thought without talking out loud. The basic
objective of art therapy is to give people a therapeutic outlet through which
they can resolve emotional issues, lower their stress levels, become more
self-aware, and generally improve their mental health. People who might
have trouble verbally articulating their emotions or who find standard talk
therapy difficult may find the creative process in art therapy to be
especially helpful.
