From children to seniors: How expressive arts can change lives
Renata Chubb is a registered Expressive Arts Therapist and Arts Facilitator, working with groups and individuals, from young children to seniors whose backgrounds include a variety of needs and experiences. Whether you are looking to find your way through a challenging situation (e.g., grief, anxiety, substance abuse, medical conditions, relationship issues) or whether you want to rediscover your joy and aliveness, expressive arts therapy is right for you. She believes in her core that art, sound, movement, words, and play offer great potential for healing and reconnection with self. We need to tap out of. our thinking mind and feel our way through that moment, that experience, that memory. Without a doubt, a space can be made by working with colour, or sounds, tiny movements, our breath, written words.
Key points of our discussion include: 💥 What's the difference between Expressive Arts Therapy and an Art Therapy?
💥 The connection to journaling, drawing, painting, playing acting, dancing ... and diffusing the energy of a emotional tension.
💥 How children express themselves differently and why many are stifled from a young age. What's our role as parents to help embrace the arts, when we ourselves need to be in control?
💥 How we heal ourselves through the arts or identify what's getting in our way. It can be as gentle or as deep as we need it to be.
💥 Using our imagination and visualization and how our bodies/minds respond.
💥 How do our children express themselves in the world? Curiosity, physical, flow through nature, music etc
💥 Convenience Verses Skill... Let's stop correcting and fixing!
