Why you need art therapy

Find out how art therapy can seriously boost your wellbeing…

It’s helps beat stress: Mind racing? Sitting down to a good colouring session can re-focus your mind and help bring you back to peace again. But don’t just take our word for it. Famous psychologist Carl Jung used colouring as a relaxation technique way back in the early 20th century, colouring mandalas; circular designs which orininate in India.

But it’s not just sitting quietly that makes art therapy good for beating stress. Using the parts of the brain which control vision and fine, precise motor skills lowers activity of the amygdala part of the brain that’s involved in controlling emotion and stress.

Anyone can do it! This means it’s a great form of therapy for anyone who might find it hard to express themselves using words, such as children, or those are very shy. You can also connect with yourself and understand the mood you are in – we select different colours depending on our mood.
