I would have loved this as a child, but I have learned how to do art therapy on my own and even involve it in some of my videos. I love how expressive I can be without judgement when it comes to my art.

This deserves way more attention!💜 Art therapy is such a beautiful and healthy way to grow on yourself

I had a similar experience using art therapy on a rich family's child. I was able to help him ease his trauma that has been troubling for several sessions. Now they're considering him a child genius with his art. He'll have his next birthday real soon.

I really dreamed to be an Art therapist at one point in my life as I personally saw the benefits of it. Unfortunately what is required logistically i:e licenses, insurance coverage, and control from "the systems" takes away the joy from just being able to help others through creative & expressive means.
