Art Therapy

Hi @pioneeringWest5661! Thanks so much for posting on here today, we're so glad to have you at 7cups :) I'm not an art therapy professional but I am a great advocate of it and am fairly knowledgeable about it. Please feel free to send me a message if you'd like to chat :) Niamh

As an artist, teacher and special needs teacher, I believe I can help you grow through the power of art if you like. Be well! Please feel free to send me a message, although i often look like I'm not online I do receive messages and follow up quickly. Be well, I have many resources for you as well if you'd like.

I am not a professional, but I recently took upon water coloring and it has been tremendous help! The few hours I spend playing with colors is very therapeutic and it is amazing how well I focus during that time. It has also helped me let go of the pressure to be good at it and I focus on just enjoying the process. When I am done, I usually feel calm, relaxed, and I feel I have been productive pursuing an interest of mine. I have recently seen a great influx in adult coloring books too. It is said to help with anxiety and I can imagine why. It is such a fun thing to do.

Another thing worth exploring is sandbox therapy. All that should take is a box, sand, hands, and time :) It is said to be very calming. I don't have too much information about this but I plan on exploring more about it.

Hi! I'm an artist (oil painting being my latest stint) and a poet who has an anxiety disorder. Art is definitely one of my avenues of expression, escapism & production, so I totally know where you are coming from. Feel free to shoot me a message, let's chat.

I would be happy to talk with you. I can discuss my qualifications in a message if you like. rt therapy and play therapy are my passions!
