Art Therapy Benefits1. Art therapy is a successful form of therapy. It gives a sense of relief and wellbeing through the recognition and acknowledgement of subconscious feelings.

2. This therapy gives the client a personal fulfillment from the creative and the analytical components of the process. It can build confidence and nurture feelings of self-worth.

3. Art therapy can help individuals visually express emotions and fears that they were never able to articulate through conventional

means, and give them some sense of control over these feelings.

4. Art therapy when used alone or in combination with other relaxation techniques such as guided imagery can be a potent stress reliever.

5. Art therapy can also help individuals cope with pain and promote physiological healing by identifying and working through anger and resentment issues and other emotional stresses.

Some of my

clients who get relieved from practising art at their skill-it’s not the skill we want, it’s the practice under our instruction: only demand is that clients should need to be creatively inclined, at least they need to have spatial sense.
