Creativity isn’t just about art, it’s about giving an experience somewhere to go. People often reach for creative outlets during hard times. Sometimes what we feel is too difficult to be talked through initially.

Creativity lets emotion move before it makes sense. We can express ourselves without words. In therapy, this shows up in metaphors, stories, and in imagined futures. People relate to pain differently.

Creativity restores a sense of agency. When we get stuck, making something gives us an opportunity to loosen our perspective.

You don’t need talent. You just need willingness. Healing isn’t always about fixing what’s broken. Sometimes it’s about creating space for changing old things up.
