"In any given moment, we have two options: to step forward into growth or to step back into safety." - Abraham Maslow

In a recent art therapy session I rediscovered the power of nature and the power of symbols created by my client.

In this enriching Art Therapy Session we explored the intricate parallels between creativity and the natural world! 🌿🖌️

We delved into the captivating world of crabs and unraveled the profound lessons they impart. 🦀 Through the lens of art, we'll explore resilience, adaptability, and the beauty of transformation - all inspired by the wisdom of crabs.

You don't have to be artist to create! You just need to be simply curious about the therapeutic power of creativity, art therapy is open to all! 🌟 Come join me and unlock the hidden treasures of art therapy.
