Spring Garden - What do you want to see blossom in your garden this Spring? Self-compassion? Balance? Friendship? Love? - While working at my site these past two weeks, I’ve witnessed how quickly anxiety levels can rise and permeate through the population. We’ve had to make adjustments just like everyone else so what our groups looked like had to change quickly. The focus is still on connecting with the art and creative self expression but now more on an individual basis. We created individual art directive kits for everyone on the unit. Each kit has all the supplies needed to complete the directive. Over the next few weeks (hopefully only weeks🤞🏼) we will continue to create kits so clients can immerse themselves in their art and hopefully begin to feel a sense of safety during an uncertain time. - Thank you to @counselling.art.therapist for this art directive idea. 😊 - . . #arttherapy #arttherapist #creativeart #paperart #vancouvercounsellor #artdirectives #anxietyrelief #highlysensitiveperson #empath #copingskills #springart #newbeginnings #socialdistancing #stayconnected

In order to be mindful of everyone’s health and well-being during this time, we have decided to close the remaining Art Therapy Open Studios. We encourage you to engage in the creative process on your own as a mindful activity to decrease any stress or anxiety you may be feeling at this time. As we have done in the studio – set up your creative space, put on some relaxing music, have some tea and snacks on hand, and let yourself be present in the moment letting any outside worries wash away. This is your safe space. Keep practicing skills that help you find your calm center, engage in an activity that makes you feel good at least once a day, be mindful of information overload; and get your information from reliable sources. Also, it’s okay to be scared and anxious so reach out for help if you need it. . . . . . . #arttherapyopenstudio #openstudio #creativeart #communityartmaking #artnight #paintnight #artishealing #vancouverbc #thingstodoinvancouver #datenight #relaxingevents #relaxation #mindfulness #anxietyrelief #stressreduction #smallgroup #supportiveenvironment #holistichealing #highlysensitiveperson #empath #vancouvercounsellor #arttherapy #arttherapist #creativeenvironment #safespace #safetyprecautions #selfcare #findwhatfeelsgood #findwhatworksforyou
