Healing Through Art: Therapeutic Art Workshops at Outside the Lines Artwork
At Outside the Lines Artwork, we believe in the transformative power of art. We offer therapeutic art workshops specifically for survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, and those who have endured narcissistic family relationships. These workshops provide a safe, creative space for healing and self-expression.
Why Therapeutic Art Works
Therapeutic art is a powerful tool for healing because it allows individuals to express emotions and experiences that may be difficult to put into words. Research shows that engaging in artistic activities can reduce stress, improve mental health, and promote emotional well-being. Here are a few key reasons why therapeutic art is effective:
1. Emotional Expression: Art provides a non-verbal way to express feelings, which can be particularly helpful for trauma survivors who may find it hard to articulate their experiences.
2. Stress Reduction: Creating art can lower cortisol levels, a stress hormone, helping individuals feel more relaxed and centered.
3. Self-Discovery: Artistic activities can lead to personal insights and self-discovery, aiding in the process of healing and personal growth.
4. Empowerment: Art can help survivors reclaim their sense of control and agency, which is often lost in traumatic experiences.
About Our Workshops
Our workshops are small, survivor-focused, and held in a safe environment. We encourage an open format where participants can freely express themselves through various art forms. Led by our founder, Erika Bride, a survivor herself, these workshops incorporate methods she has developed to help individuals work through their feelings and start their healing journey.
