by | Why Expressive Arts Work
Life has challenges that cause grief and painful emotions. Time alone
does not always heal these painful emotions. Professor James Pennebaker
(University of Texas) says that at about three months, people stop talking
about a painful event. These unresolved feelings are internalized and
become toxic and spread until another painful event reveals these and
other buried feelings. Expressive Arts can help you process and transform
your feelings before they are tucked away inside. For example, a young
mother composed meditative mantras and verse to deal with the death
of her three-year old son. Because she consistently recited the verse
and mantra daily, she progressed through all the grief stages and reported
that she felt healed in fifteen months from her son’s death. She
was able to return to a productive life. While in New Mexico, Ruth offers expressive arts session for clients. Clients from Socorro, Magdalena, Datil, and surrounding areas can schedule a session which can assist in healing from grief and painful life changes. Expressive arts is also helpful for career change and personal goal setting. Each session involves visual arts, movement, and sound healing. The sessions are held at the Magdalena Arts Gallery. Contact Ruth by email: Ruth@ArtsCanHeal.com to schedule a session. |
