ABOUT THE COURSE
EXPLORE THE SCOPE OF CREATIVE THERAPIES
Creative therapies include art therapy, drama therapy, reminiscence therapy, crafts as therapy and so on. They can be useful for people in stressful times in their life and those with physical, emotional and psychological difficulties.
Creative therapies are a range of techniques that are creative and expressive in nature that aim to help clients to find a way to express themselves that is beyond words or traditional therapies, such as counselling or psychotherapy. Creative therapies are limitless as the human imagination.
The aim is to encourage people to express themselves in a positive and happy way, to encourage the expression of positive emotions. At first, the person may focus on their negative emotions, but over time, we hope more positive emotions may be expressed.
Creative therapies are used to encourage a person to express themselves in ways that they may not be able to usually. This also can enable personal growth.
