How are creative activities therapeutic?
Creative therapy is a type of therapy that uses non-verbal expression like art or music as a means to communicate our inner world. Finding clarity in your thoughts can often be difficult using words alone, so creative therapy can help you to communicate your inner experience and what you’re feeling in other ways. Creative activities let people in recovery process their emotions on their own terms, which is why art, music, and/or drama therapy are often used in recovery programs. Creativity lets you explore alternative perspectives. Engaging in artistic activities such as drawing, dancing, and playing music can enhance moods, reduce anxiety and stress, and alleviate burdens associated with chronic disease [1]. Studies have shown that creative engagement can also support mental health by reducing feelings of depression and isolation [2]. In relation to children, the creative arts are activities that engage a child’s imagination and can include activities such as art, dance, drama, puppetry, and music.
