No one will expect you to paint a masterpiece when you start your journey into art therapy. The idea is to express yourself here. This alternative method of therapy has only recently gained popularity and comes from the belief that making art can enhance one's mental health.
Even something as simple as drawing lines or circles on a sheet of paper can calm a raging anxiety.
There are even professional art therapists who guide you through this. Some of them also use the art made by you to psychoanalyze the deeper issues that may be playing havoc with your mental health.
Just a little effort into self-healing can help you keep your mental health intact.
