Since I wrote my blog post about my first day, I have been reflecting on my lack of knowledge and understanding of art as a therapy.
I have come to realise that I view therapy as a way of providing me or anyone who has therapy with a set of tools to help them cope and manage whatever is going on in their lives.
Art therapy is just another set of tools for people to use and viewing it this way makes me look at it in a completely different light and although I do not think I would benefit from Art therapy, I now understand why it is such a useful and important thing.
I am enjoying thinking about these different views and techniques that people have and being able to adapt my own way of thinking.
