The Power of Arts Therapy | Laurence Vandenborre | TEDxLASALLE

Arts therapy is a unique non-verbal therapeutic modality to heal the past and envision a new life of joy and hope. Drawing, music, dance and movement, drama play are all sensitive, soothing and yet powerful ways of letting go of difficult or overwhelming experiences to prepare a new path of self-confidence and empowerment to fulfil a life to be proud of, for oneself and for the community around. When words are inadequate or impossible to convey our emotions and life experiences, the gentle approaches and care of an arts therapist will reassure that there is no dead end in life and, one drawing at a time, everyone can be the hero of one’s life.

This video made me cry to death .I am an artist .And i hope art therapy is my future job .As someone who has experienced a war ,abuse ,a loss of loved ones and my parents during childhood i am so related to this video .I steped into the art long time ago but i could never express myself enough because my images ,my mind was blocked ,my vision was blocked and i became angry coz i felt helpless .Because art was the only thing that was left for me .I started psychoterapy last year and those images in my head that were frozen started to be clear and i steped into my art power ,painting as never before .With hand that was broken and abused .With art i transformed it into my super power.I had support and i am blessed because of it .And i started to heal .I encourage all people to draw ,to paint ,to step into their power no matter how painful or happy it is ,because when you step into vision of your best future self you can create an amazing art and life stories on Canvas ,and you can help to teach others how to do that ,thank you for this and God bless 🙏💙

Thank you for this talk. I have been utilizing art as a way to express and release emotions - and to process feelings - for a long time. Art has literally saved my life and has given me greater purpose in my life.
