Lately I started being interested in this, don't know exactly why
 Anyone has experience with it, as a therapist or as a patient?

I've always been a crafty person but when I was hospitalized they used art therapy and I found it to be very satisfying to create things. I try to keep something art related going as it makes me feel better.

Yes, I've participated in art therapy groups. I'm a creative person and tremendously enjoy doing art, so for me art therapy is wonderful. I found it especially helpful to listen to my inner voice while I was doing my art work...for example, 'You are doing this well enough', 'as usual, you're giving up too easily', 'you never could color in the lines and make your artwork look neat'...and so on.
I'm using a coloring book for adults lately and find it very beneficial. |
