Creative Art Therapy (CAT) is a therapeutic technique that uses the creative and expressive elements of art, such as painting, marbling, clay, music, theatre, film, photography, dance, and movement. It uses approaches that may activate all of our senses, notably visual, auditory, and tactile. It has a very strong scientific background and was established on the idea that the visual imagination and creative force have integrative and therapeutic potential. With its inclusive, constructive, supporting, self-exploratory, and collaborative nature, creative art therapy opens its doors to individuals of all ages and experiences and helps us find new ways out of times when we are experiencing complicated, intense, often hard, and challenging emotions. With its non-compulsive and playful nature, it helps us develop self-awareness and confidence while also enhancing our subjective well-being in terms of cognitive, emotional, physical, developmental, neurological, behavioral, and spiritual aspects.
