Overview

Expressive Arts Therapy is a constellation of modalities which, when used as directives in conjunction with an Expressive Arts Therapist, is a powerful tool through which self-discovery and healing can take place. This workbook includes some of the exercises that my clients have found helpful as we have worked together. Due to the constraints associated with a printed book, this workbook is limited to visual arts and writing exercises. Expressive Arts, however, include music, play, dance, movement, and drama.When using Expressive Arts Therapy modalities, it is the process, not the product, that is illustrative and healing. Therefore, this workbook cannot and is in no way meant as a substitute for work with a trained practitioner. Instead, it is meant to be a thought provoking introduction to some of the Expressive Arts and, hopefully, a starting point from which your own process can evolve.
