While speech and reasoning are regulated by our left brain, our emotions and intuition are activated by our right brain.
In regular speech therapy we mostly use our left brain. We use reasoning to find solutions to our problems. When we create art we use our right brain. Our unconsciousness comes to the surface.
Scientific research has proven that creating art as a therapeutic purpose has beneficial effects on healing our emotions and problems. The insights that you will experience during the creative process can work wholesome. And that's exactly where we focus on in our art sessions.
