It is also known as expressive therapy. One can express himself/herself through art / dance / music. Expressive therapy is predicated on the assumption that people can heal through use of imagination and the various forms of creative expression. In this therapy, process of creation is emphasized rather than the final product.

• All expressive therapists share the belief that through creative expression and the tapping of the imagination, a person can examine the body, feelings, emotions and his or her thought process.
• Therapy uses the creative process of art making to improve and enhance the physical, mental and emotional well-being of individuals of all ages.
• Self-expression helps people to resolve conflicts and problems, develop interpersonal skills, manage behaviour, reduce stress, increase self-esteem and self-awareness, and achieve insight.
