About brain and art

Na minha prática, vejo que o trauma raramente chega em palavras — chega em sensações, silêncios e reações. A arteterapia permite aceder ao que não pode ser dito, dando forma ao que está preso no corpo e nas emoções. Ao criar, a pessoa externaliza, organiza e integra a experiência, promovendo regulação emocional e novas formas de sentir-se segura.

LOVE THIS

I was an Art Therapy student many years ago and decided to pursue Therapeutic Recreation, at that time, instead. Art Therapy has always been what I am passionate about and I am so thankful that I discovered Scholistico last year and was able to enroll in this course. I finally feel like I am coming full circe to WHY I began the journey of becoming a therapist 25 year ago.

Art Therapy Practitioner Course

I liked the course, and it validated that I am well-suited for this type of work. Things I’d improve on: AI - the video didn’t pronounce key words correctly. I wish there was a human to look over the homework. All in all I’d give it a B
