From the Publisher
I’m so glad you’re here! Starting an art therapy journal can be a great way to take care of your thoughts and emotions. Many people like art therapy because it is a fun and easy way to express yourself and feel relaxed.
To get started, all you will need is a drawing instrument (pen, pencil, marker, crayon, etc.) and this journal. If you want to add a variety of art media, go for it! Since all humans have an inner artist (even if you don’t know it yet) inside us, you have the power to get as creative as you want to.
These pages are written in terms of drawing and writing; however, painting, collage, modeling with clay, or any other art material is welcome.
No prior art experience is needed.
As a licensed therapist, clinical art therapist, and trauma survivor, Bell weaves together her depth of experiences in the Guided Art Therapy Journals and Mental Health Workbooks she publishes. Her education, professional training, and personal journey provides a balanced blend of warmth, humility, and expertise to readers interacting with her materials.
Outside of her work as an author, she provides therapy in private practice where she aspires to decrease stigma related to mental health while increasing accessibility to the healing arts. She is a humanist who believes in the power of connection through creative self-expression. She believes everyone has a valuable inner artist no matter their experience or training, or lack thereof.
Non-Verbal Expression: Not all individuals are comfortable or adept at expressing their emotions, thoughts, or experiences verbally. Art therapy provides a non-verbal and creative outlet for self-expression. Kids, teens and adults can use art to convey their feelings, experiences, and inner worlds, making it an inclusive and accessible form of therapy for people of all ages and backgrounds.
Emotional Healing and Exploration: Art therapy allows individuals to explore their emotions, confront past traumas, and process difficult experiences in a safe and supportive environment. It can lead to emotional release and catharsis, promoting healing and personal growth.
Self-Discovery and Insight: Creating art can lead to greater self-awareness and insight. It can help individuals gain a deeper understanding of themselves, their patterns of behavior, and their motivations. Art therapy encourages self-reflection and self-exploration, which are essential for personal development and emotional well-being.
Flexible and Versatile: Art therapy is a versatile form of therapy that can be tailored to address a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges. It can be used in individual or group settings and is adaptable to different age groups and cultural backgrounds. Art therapy can complement traditional talk therapy and be integrated into various therapeutic approaches and settings, including schools, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and mental health clinics.
It’s important to note that art therapy is not limited to those with artistic talent or skills. The focus is on the process, self-expression, and the therapeutic benefits of creating, rather than the end result. Art therapy sessions are typically guided by trained and certified art therapists who provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals to explore their emotions and experiences through art.
Emotional Healing: Art therapy can be used to process trauma, grief, and other emotional wounds. It allows individuals to work through difficult experiences in a safe and supportive environment.
Emotional Expression: Art therapy provides a non-verbal outlet for individuals to express their emotions, thoughts, and feelings. This can be particularly valuable for those who struggle to communicate their inner experiences verbally.

Customers say
Customers find the Art Therapy Workbook helpful for grieving. It provides mindfulness and art activities that build a capacity to process loss. The counseling in the book provides new ideas. The art prompts suggest basic art materials but can also be done with pencil or pen. The writing prompts are spot-on for the pain of grief, with some just drawing and some just scribbling, which helps when words are too heavy to make.
