I am taking this Expressive Arts Therapy Certi cate Training Program as I aim to better
support personal and interpersonal growth of individuals and collectivities. Speci cally, I
intend to:
Grow as therapist whereas throughout a better understanding and appreciation of
integrating creative expression and imaginative process into my therapeutic practice, I
can offer a broader integrative approach to respond to individuals developmental
processes and need for transformation with a healing holistic approach: whereby
physical, emotional, energetic and creative and imaginative processes are taken into
wide consideration.
Incorporate to my application of yoga psychotherapeutic tools such as positive thinking
and meditation, expressive arts-based psychotherapeutic tools, which evoke and
respond to the individuals natural curiosity and passion to immerse themselves in
creativity and the exploration of psychological life.
Foster a quality of openness in individuals that seek guidances whereby they are able
to face up to themselves with insightful honesty, and are able to encourage and
facilitate this quality in their relationships.
