Art therapy for younger children – Going to art therapy
A story about seeing an Art Therapist.
First, you will wait in the waiting room.
You can do many activities in the waiting room. There are toys to play with and digital screens to play games on.
In art therapy, you can draw or paint, build things or you can play with clay.
This can help you to feel calm and have fun.
In art therapy, you can talk about lots of things. You can talk about how you’re feeling and what you’re thinking.
Your Art Therapist might ask you questions to learn more about you and what you like.
A parent or family member can come with you if you feel nervous.
You might talk about things that are bothering you or about things that have happened to you. If you need to, you can say:
“I don’t want to talk about that today”
You will see your art therapist once a week for a short time.
Now you know more about art therapy.
