Therapy of the Imagination

Creative Therapy is a therapy of the imagination.

Imagination uses a different part of the brain and will often illuminate aspects of a situation whe just talking about an issue is not enough.  We can have the same conversations over and over again, like a well-worn track.

Working with imagery and the imagination can reveal insights that we intuitively know.  It is not about making 'good art', or being judged.  It is about uncovering the hidden truths we already know about ourselves.  

Often, what emerges in a drawing or a sandtray surprises even its creator - something in the metaphor reveals an aspect of a relationship that was dimly realised, but not fully in awareness.  Trying a slightly different approach can provide a bridge to unconscious material.
