Art has long been recognized as a powerful tool for self-expression and emotional healing. In the field of art therapy, creating art serves as a means to explore our stories and trauma, allowing us to delve into our emotions and experiences in a unique and transformative way. Through the process of creating art, individuals are able to express and process their emotions without directly referencing themselves, thus providing a safe and non-threatening outlet for self-reflection and healing.
One of the fundamental principles of my practice is the understanding that our emotions affect all aspects of our being. According to various spiritual and healing traditions, including Chinese medicine, our emotions are believed to impact not only our mental and emotional well-being but also our physical health. In these traditions, emotions are seen as energy in motion, and when emotions become unprocessed or suppressed, they can manifest as stuck energy in the body, potentially leading to illness.
Contemporary research supports this, indicating that chronic stress, when unaddressed, can contribute to numerous health issues, potentially surpassing the impact of many other common diseases (American Psychological Association, 2020). This underscores the complex interplay between emotional and physical health.
Tamara Liz offers a unique approach to addressing and transforming these unprocessed emotions and chronic stress. Through the act of creating art, individuals are able to tap into their inner world and express their emotions in a tangible and visual form. The process of working with various art materials, such as paint, clay, or collage, allows individuals to externalize their emotions and experiences, giving them a sense of control and agency over their own healing journey. By transferring their energy from their bodies to the art canvas, individuals are able to release and transform their emotions. The act of creating art becomes a cathartic and transformative experience, as the energy that was once stuck and stagnant within the body is now given form and expression. This release of energy can be incredibly liberating and healing, providing individuals with a sense of relief, clarity, and empowerment. Moreover, the process of creating art in a therapeutic setting provides a safe and supportive environment for individuals to explore and process their emotions.
