Great affirmation however, there is barely any space or time to repeat the affirmation before the next one is said.

That professor was out of line for saying that. Regardless of their opinion the purpose of critique and academic advising us to provide CONSTRUCTIVE feedback and support. I am so sorry you got the opposite of that. If I were you I would be seething - I know myself and have had less than helpful professors! But nothing that out of line. I did have an MFA painting professor declare “you move so slowly!” (Hello, I’m severely depressed! My beloved parent passed away and my work is about grief). And similar digs at my character. Showing the art we make can be very vulnerable and art school should teach us to be discerning about whose criticism matters, but instead it’s a town hall open mic approach (at least in grad school all of your peers have to participate). Anyways, you’ve had a beautiful journey healing. Reiki and acupuncture are amazing. Thank you for sharing!
It seems like your channel is no longer adding new content but I just want to acknowledge how much work and thought you put into the videos I've watched so far. They are definitely very insightful and valuable for those of us who have just begun this journey. I hope you will reconsider coming back to your channel because you've got something special ❤
so uplifting, and the video is great as the basis for a group therapy session. Very nice indeed!
You're amazing🙈❤
It's so confusing to know what degrees to go for. Everything about licensing makes my head spin
Do you make up the exercises?
this Just confirmed for me that art therapy is the field I'm suppose to be in. that's what I'm being drawn and called to do. thank you so much erica
Bello.! Beautiful
Please come back to KZread, your videos are so needed & I only just discovered them
Thank you!😊
you are literally amazing! thank you so much for these guided lessons and insight. You are so helpful and pure. I really needed this today~
Thank you 🌷
I am going to share this with my students . I am counselling psychologist and this art therapy will surely help my client to build positive self image for themselves. Thankyou so much for this amazing therapy. looking forward for more videos.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
🎉 thank you so much for this intervention I need to see that visual as I embark in art therapy as a profession as well
I like this ❤ I think I will try it
I have it kinda lucky cause of my own background dealing with mental health issues i know what path i wanna persue. I wanna help the autistic community (and possibly those who struggle with self destructive behaviors. I know i would need to do research on this) and work with the geometric shapes and zentangle using wood burning (pyrography) as the medium. I know there can be risks working with those with self destructive behaviors and having a burning tool but i dont wa t to limit my practice to people who can really benefit from this type of art. I know for me when i got into pyrography it was a game changer cause i was still able to destroy something (the wood) which satisfied that need but do it in a way that was very calming, very tactile and ended in a wonderful art piece. Seeing my pain and anger be burned into the wood as a bruised, cut up teddy bear was a very intense healing experience for me. I want to share that with other people.
Im thinking of pursuing art therapy. For me i struggle with mental health issues. For a long time i didnt know what issues those were (therapists did little help) in my pursuit to finding out why i am the way i am i came to love psychology. Ive had a very tough life with childhood trauma and incarnation later in life. While incarcerated i had nothing to do so i wrote. I wrote stories and i sae that despite the teachers growing up i was pretty good at it. I originally thought i wanted to be a writer of some kind. But then i started to draw as well. That invigorated me like no story was able to. Im autistic so my art is quite usual in its geometric shapes but ive had people say it's amazing. After my incarnation i started to dive deeper into my art more as a therapeutic form for me. Through therapy we did art from an art therapist and it intrigued me very much. I started to do research on it. Given my incarnation background and mental health issues i kept thinking i can never be an art therapist but as im doing more research on the topic i see it is an option i can pursue. Also seeing the ages people started their art therapy path gives me courage to see that i still have time. Thank you
Hi I wanna be an art therapist but I don't know the process 😔 like what i need for university what should be my major or minar BTW I am canadian 😅 so.....
love your channel as a therapist. thank you for these, keep creating more. :)
I’m going through a very heartbreaking break up and it’s making me very depressed. A new chapter in my life is coming, I am moving to a new city, and to be frank…. It’s terrifying. I really feel so unsure about the future and where my life will go. I pray to God I will make it through this transition and life will only look better from here onward.
How do you see clients online as an art therapist if you have the materials?
Maam , please can you make a video on children art therapy. ( like children who are coming from a traumatic background and caring baggages , how can I apply art therapy to them?)
We believe in ourselves and our creative expression. Our creativity comes naturally to us! Peace!
Hi, I love what you’re doing here. I’m actually considering going back to school to become an art therapist.
Thanks for sharing.
Good video but pauses were not long enough
Awesome resource! I"m a music therapist at a psychiatric hospital and wanted to add to the expressive/sensory interventions I can utilize. Thanks!
Thank you Erica. My name is Rachel I am from Rwanda. How can I get a training on art therapy? Maybe an online training , do offer that?
I can't wait to try this today, with my students! I am teaching a course called "I believe in Me", and we're merging it with art activities. This is perfect. THANK YOU!!
Thank you, Erica. I show my clients your videos and they do the activities in session. I always get good feedback.
Your videos are encouraging to express & to validate yourself.
Thank you for this inspiring video. May I ask about which school did you learn art therapy? thank you again and wish you all the best
Liked it!
Thanks u ❤
Art therapy is awesome!
What school did you go to for art therapy?
I'm so excited that I found this today when doing a specific search. I'm watching this again right now after getting my photo and materials and space prepared.
madam, i am getting anxiety physicall symptoms throughout the day how to overcome it
I worked with a Real Property Commercial Property Assessor Field Supervisor (State Of Maryland). She was previously an Art Therapist at a State Mental Hospital. With constant budget cuts she eventually was laid off. She pursued a completely different career path with the State of Maryland.
If I have a masters degree in clinical mental health counseling already is there a way for me to get licensed in this specialty still? I just found out that Art Therapy is a thing, and I’m super excited because I have always loved art- if I can use it to help my clients then it would be a dream come true!
Thank you 💙🔥
THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS! You are beautiful and amazing. I really needed this today.
Do you have a course to train others on how to teach/or on how to be a facilitator of this kind of mindful art?
This is a beautiful activity. Thank you.
Your creativity is beautiful!!!
