I recently had the pleasure of being interviewed by Anthony Hartcher of the me&my health up podcast, and he was very excited to talk to an art therapist!  He’d never met one before, and he asked a lot of questions that a lot of people have in their minds when it comes to this embodied, experiential, implicit, and integrative form of psychotherapy (that means it takes precedence over verbal ways of knowing and weaves together aspects of our lives that can’t be described or summarized in words).

He essentially wanted to know “what is art therapy and how does it help people find their way through struggle and conflict?”  Skip to the end of this article to listen to the podcast interview and hear the answer!

 

Art Therapy in Austin, TX Can Help Resolve Internal Struggles and External Conflicts

Art therapy in Austin, TX is for anyone who wants to make improvements in their life and believes that the person they are on the inside and the world they encounter on the outside are experiencing a mismatch.  The mismatch can be remedied by looking at the mental representations associated with the discomfort and re-creating them in a different light.

This enlists the nervous system as hands and eyes coordinate to do the re-creating and absorbing of new approaches, which in turn has a positive effect on physiology, emotions, and thoughts.  In other words, art therapy can help people find their way through anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, grief, and burnout.
