Experiential and Expressive Arts Therapy

Experiential and expressive arts therapy (EEAT) is a holistic approach to therapy that uses the creative arts to promote healing and personal growth. It is a multimodal therapy that combines elements of different art forms, such as music, dance, drama, poetry, and visual arts.

EEAT is based on the belief that the creative arts can help people to access their inner resources and to express their emotions in a safe and supportive environment. The therapist facilitates the process by providing guidance and support, and by helping the client to interpret their creative work.

How EEAT Works

EEAT sessions typically involve a combination of individual and group work. In individual sessions, the therapist will work with the client to develop a treatment plan that is tailored to their specific needs. The client may be asked to create art, music, or movement pieces that express their thoughts and feelings. The therapist will then help the client to interpret their work and to gain insights into their inner world.
