The difficulty possibly has its origins in the present and\/or past experience, with little opportunity or available support to process consequential emotions. The experience can therefore become a long-standing obstacle in the person\u2019s life rather than a useful and empowering experiential resource.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In art therapy, individuals are offered opportunities to creatively process experiences and emotions within the safety of the therapy relationship, which aims to transform a prior experience from an obstacle that prevents the individual from living in the present into a resource that affords wisdom and personal strength. Art therapy offers individuals an opportunity to get in deeper touch with who they really are, and as a consequence, to make choices accordingly, potentially leading to improved well-being and fulfilment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Testimonial<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adult woman suffering from serious depression:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI have enjoyed the privilege of receiving Unnur Ottarsdottir\u2019s art therapy for some time now and I am not disappointed. I knew that the therapy was a fruitful way to connect with children and I wanted to test it on myself. Because I have struggled with discussing some painful memories that I haven\u2019t properly processed, I thought that this form of therapy might be suitable for me. I was a bit shy with drawing, colouring and painting in the beginning because I\u2019m no artist \u2013 being confident enough to start was most difficult \u2013 but I realized that it doesn\u2019t matter at all. Unnur interpreted the meaning of the pictures, but not their aesthetic. Again and again I was surprised over the painful emotions that kept surfacing just by drawing a little picture of an event that occurred ages ago. Unnur then helped me process the events and discuss them \u2013 \u201cpunctured the tumour\u201d \u2013 so that I was able to face the past and learn to accept it. I wholeheartedly recommend art therapy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you want to facilitate your creativity in art therapy in order to improve your well-being and quality of life?
