Art as therapy for you to take care of your mental health

Did you know that art can be an ally to take care of your mental health? And what's best, you don't need any previous experience to get started.

 

According to Pinterest Predicts (a report that predicts each year's trends), art therapy practices focused on mental health are an excellent way to include self-care in your routine, more lightly. And this can be done without giving up traditional therapy, of course, since together one is a partner of the other to increase your physical and emotional well-being. And the platform we love (and that publishes several inspirations in areas such as style and decoration) has even highlighted some ideas to start: therapeutic writing and music therapy.

 

What is art therapy?

There are several ways to define art therapy, although the name is self-explanatory. In general, the method usually addresses a genuine interest in self-knowledge through creative processes and imagination.

 

The application of arts in a therapeutic way to express experiences, articulate feelings, and give us support. You know that hug we often need? The technique helps you work this out and more! It contributes to our behavior, and emotions, reduces stress/anxiety, and increases self-esteem.  There's more!  It helps in understanding our relationships with others and unsolved issues of the past.  And as if these benefits were not enough, it is still a different (and relaxed) way to understand yourself.

 

Seeking a specialized professional is important because they are who will adapt the activities according to each need.

 

Art therapy is very good for you!

Also, according to Pinterest's predictions, art therapy has been over-sought by those who have been interested to adopt it in their daily lives, be it with writing, sculpting, collage, or dance activities. And it has been pleasing since it meets the great interest for self-knowledge.

 

The technique is allied to the following benefits:

• Self-discovery: recognizing emotions;
• Self-esteem: to obtain the sensation of self-realization;
• Emotional release: opportunity to express and release negative feelings and fears. Such as sadness or anger, which can often be suppressed because there are no words to define them or because you are ashamed (and is common among women);
• Relieves stress: ensuring the relaxation of the mind and body. There is more: to improve the ability to deal with pain (if you are a mother, know that it is possible for children to get along with art therapy in this type of situation).
