Art for Expression and Emotional regulation!
Heeey! Thanks for checking out 'Therapeutic Expressive Art'
Here is some information about it to help you to decide if it is for you.
What is 'Therapeutic Expressive Art' ?
Therapeutic expressive art is an online self study course which provides opportunities to use art and other creative activities to explore and express thoughts, feelings and experiences.
There are 3 parts to the course namely, materials and techniques, emotional regulation and expression. You are able to work on this at your own pace and in any order.
1) Art materials and techniques
Whilst there are no requirements to be 'good' at art in order to take part nor a requirement to make art that looks particuarly aesthetically pleasing, it feels important to be able to use different art materials.There are videos and worksheets to encourage you to explore and experiment with different art materials and technical skills taught and encouragement use art material in different ways and combine different colours shapes and patterns together.
2) Emotional regulation
Art can be a powerful way of exploring thoughts and feelings and regulating emotions. Having an increased understanding of our emotions and the kind of art that might help allows you to be able to use art to feel calmer when anxious and more energised when of low mood. With a workbook and mindfulness exercises there are ample opportunities to reflect on your experiences, thoughts and feelings so that when you make art it is coming from a deeper level of understanding and self compassion.3)Expression of the true self.
The range of videos and activities in the workbooks encourages self expression throughout the course. As you progress and make work within your sketchbook or journal I guarantee that different ideas will emerge both from conscious thinking as well as subconsciously. You are encouraged to develop work which explores and expresses your true self so that you feel more aligned, calm, confident and happier overall.

A little bit about me and why I made this course.
My name is Lesley and I'm an Artist and Art Therapist.
I love sharing the therapeutic benefits of art and creativity to different people, especially the profound effects that art can have on someone's mental health and overall wellbeing.
I won't need to remind you about how important it is to look after your mental health and that of your loved ones. Mental health is spoken about a lot more in society these days yet it can still be very tricky as there is still a lot of stigma surrounding it.
The majority of treatments for mental health conditions use verbal methods and although talking therapies can be helpful they are not for everyone.
Sometimes 'words are not enough' or thoughts feelings and experiences can be too painful to talk about. This is one of the reasons why I love being an art therapist and I love being able to help people to express themselves, manage their emotions, process traumatic experiences and gain insights in a creative way
