Why Should You Consider Become an Art Therapist?

Art therapy is a profession where you do psycho therapy, but in in using a art to get in touch with the unconscious. I wanted to use journaling as part of art therapy because i knew that not only drawing, but writing about what was in the art work and the drawing that was coming out of the unconscious,. That's where the insight came and that's where i found my inner strength. So when i became an art therapist, i immediately started a assigning journal proms to my clients. The creative journal consists of journal prompts and illustrations from my students at the y w c a and some students from other classes, and also my clients.
