Preliminary interview
Before any therapeutic follow-up, it is mandatory to have one or two preliminary interviews. During this interview, you are free to express your needs and struggles. The art therapist, explains what art therapy is, and provides information about its ethics and practice.
This interview helps identify your needs, potential contraindications, and whether art therapy is a suitable method of treatment for you. At the end of this interview, the art therapist will suggest an art therapy follow-up tailored to your needs.
In session
I welcome you in a compassionate space, free from societal norms. The art therapist puts all efforts into creating an environment where you can express yourself freely in all your uniqueness. Everything said or done in the session is confidential.
Personally, during sessions, I offer a variety of artistic mediums such as ephemeral art derived from contemporary art therapy. These consist of non-hazardous and neutral elements to explore. Another option is the use of artistic mediation supports, such as photography, collage, writing, land art, and other mediums. This mediation support helps address your specific issues and objectives."
Know that you don't need any specific artistic skills or techniques to practice art therapy, and all your creations are neither interpreted nor judged.
Session procedure:
- Time for exchange and discussion.
- An ephemeral or a creative expression support.
- A time for exploration and creation.
- Time for reflection at the end of the session.
Conclusion
An art therapy session transcends conventional notions of artistic pursuits, acting as a catalyst to unlock creative expression and navigate emotional landscapes.
The confidential and nurturing environment provides a safe space for authentic self-expression, devoid of judgment or interpretation. With a diverse array of artistic mediums and personalized approaches, art therapy proves accessible to everyone, regardless of artistic skill.
