There is a dance that occurs in each of us between the conscious and unconscious and that space in between in expressive arts therapy, is referred to as the " imaginal realm". In this space we can discover how our past relationships have formed who we are. Expressive arts; painting, sculpting, storytelling, dancing, acting, composing, collage making, and writing, help to create a container where self exploration can happen in the "imaginal realm".
"In this transitional space exists all that impedes us from our own growth and wholeness but also all that can serve to heal the wounds, bring us to balance, transform inner relationships, and direct us on our unique life journeys." - Penny Lewis
Expressive arts therapy is experiential and together, we explore the medium that best facilitates your self expression bringing forth from the unconscious the information needed for healing to occur.
