\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFor centuries, art has served people as a means of expressing the inexpressible. At our Foundation, we utilise this natural potential in the form of art therapy \u2013 a method that allows pain, fear or hope to be transformed into images, initiating a process of healing and inner transformation.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses visual media as the primary means of communication. It is a meeting of three elements: the patient, the therapist, and the work of art that is created during the session. <\/p>\n

The key principle that we repeat to each participant is: You do not need to have artistic talent or technical skills. In art therapy, we do not evaluate the aesthetics of the works. The drawing does not have to be \u2018pretty\u2019 \u2013 it has to be real. The goal is not to create a work for an exhibition, but to gain insight into oneself, release emotions and reduce tension.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Working in an art therapy studio is more than just an art class. Under the guidance of a qualified therapist, participants use a variety of techniques, such as painting, drawing, clay sculpture, collage and mixed media.<\/p>\n\n

The session usually consists of three stages:<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  1. Operation<\/strong> \u2013 a creative process in which participants transfer their feelings onto paper or into a spatial form. This allows them to bypass the censorship of logical thinking and reach deeply hidden emotions.<\/li>\n
  2. Distance<\/strong> \u2013 the work becomes a separate entity. The patient can look at it from the outside, which allows them to externalise the problem \u2013 to separate it from themselves.<\/li>\n
  3. Reflection<\/strong> \u2013 talking to a therapist about the work you have created, searching for meanings and symbols that help you understand your current mental state.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
