Children frequently experience anxiety just as adults do. All children can feel nervous, frightened or worried about different things or situations, so how does a parent know when to get some help for their child? Children's symptoms of anxiety can differ from adults and they may not have the words for what they are experiencing.

Are you painfully aware of the distance between who you would like to be and who you feel that you are? Do you feel hungry to find a way of living that suits you better and is more sustainable? A way of living that doesn’t leave you stressed, depressed or anxious at the end of the day? If this is you, you might be struggling to find a way to make the changes your deepest heart is hungry for. Henry David Thoreau didn’t speak lightly when he wrote “The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.” As you look around you see this in the faces of people around you. You don’t want to embrace a half-lived, empty life.

Art Therapy
How does art therapy work?
The process of making art allows people to express themselves. Art-making can take many forms, such as painting, collage, or sculpting. The therapist asks questions that the work elicits, such as how the person felt while creating their piece, or if any memories surfaced that they can discuss. The therapist will then work with the patient to process their experience, understand themselves better, and work toward change.
Does art therapy help with trauma?
Art therapy can be a valuable treatment option for those suffering from trauma. Traumatic experiences such as combat, rape, or childhood abuse can be so painful that articulating them can be too scary or painful; creating art allows people to express themselves without words, and tell their story in a different way. The physical nature of creating art can also help people feel rooted in the body, which may benefit those who feel disconnected from their body in the aftermath of trauma.
How long does art therapy last?
The duration of art therapy varies, but a common length for treatment is 10 to 15 weekly sessions. Some people may see improvement in just a few weeks, while others may choose to remain in therapy longer term. Patients should periodically discuss their goals with their therapist to make sure the two are aligned on process and progress.
What are the limitations of art therapy?
Art therapy is helpful for many people, but a limitation is that it doesn’t have as robust an evidence base as other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy. The evidence on art therapy is mixed; some research demonstrates its benefits, while other research suggests that it has little impact on patients.
