ART THERAPY

Art therapy is a powerful tool involving the use of artistic modes of expression for physical and psychological healing, as well as improving perception and cognitive function. Art therapies are used to cope with experiencing an illness such as cancer and facilitate the visual expression of certain deeply hidden feelings by stimulating memory. Through art therapy, cancer patients can express themselves when words are hard to find. The main aim is to reveal the feelings of cancer patients and help them to be happy: as the psychoanalyst Jung says, “to be HAPPY is to experience CREATIVITY”. The sessions are free of charge and are funded by the association.
