Art Therapy

As a further means of facilitating access to inner psychological processes, art therapy has been successfully integrated into our therapeutic approach at our clinic.

As with music therapy, the effectiveness and success of art therapy are based on the assumption that people often find it difficult to communicate their conflicts or stresses verbally and are instead better able to express themselves through creative means.

Through painting, drawing, photography or even sculptural and creative work, patients can give expression to their inner images, ideas, feelings, conflicts and symptoms.

What matters here is not whether a work of art is perfect or particularly beautiful, but that you give free rein to your emotions through artistic creation, thereby opening up access to the unconscious. No prior artistic experience is therefore required.

Without the pressure to perform, and using a variety of materials and artistic techniques, creative processes can be set in motion. You are invited to discover individual ways of expressing yourself in a playful manner, to try out new approaches, to shift your perspective and to broaden your perception.

This artistic approach helps you to reflect on and resolve personal issues, and to strengthen your vitality and resources.

This non-verbal therapeutic approach enables individuals, with professional guidance, to discover their creative potential and find new ways of doing things and new ways of interacting with others.

It can have various effects: loosening and binding, building up and containing (providing support).

Art therapy takes place in both one-to-one and group settings.
