Louise Bourgeois "Ode A L'Oubli"
 French-American artist, Louise Bourgeois (1911–2010) said "art is restoration: the idea is to repair the damages that
are inflicted in life, to make something that is fragmented- which is what
​fear and anxiety do to a person - into something whole"
​I believe people have untapped strengths.
It is so exciting when a person discovers their strengths and capabilities.
 Emotional Origins is a place where confidence and
​new skills can be developed and positive change can occur.
"Sometimes", said Pooh, "the smallest things take up the most room in your heart"
​ A. A Milne
Have you ever felt like you keep retelling the same life story over and over again
without improvement or feel like you are entering a familiar cycle?
Do you remember, as a very small child, using pictures and objects to
communicate with? Art psychotherapy uses images and objects
to a
ccess the more primitive part of the brain. This often leads
to gaining new insights, meaning and understanding into emotions and behaviours
.
​It is a way of articulating and unlocking doors to the subconscious
​.
no artistic ability needed
also suitable for those who have a colour defeciency
