Tanya Zajdel – Expressive Arts For Trauma Healing

Artistic expression can help the nervous system release stored trauma.

Join this online Expressive Arts Therapy Program with expert-guided, 10-minute therapeutic art exercises to support safely reprocessing trauma and to help to:

• Use creativity and self-expression to process loss and grief
• Increase neuroplasticity to reframe old memories
• Rewire patterns of fear, rumination, worry and anxiety
• Improve your mood, self-esteem, and self-awareness
• Establish a sense of safety and trust to express sensations and emotions
• Rediscover inner playfulness, vulnerability, and curiosity

“The task of therapy is not to eliminate suffering but to give a voice to it, to find a form in which it can be expressed.” – Stephen K. Levine 

Conventional forms of therapy tend to rely on trauma being expressed verbally.

This can overlook how our fears, emotions, and memories are stored in our bodies and unconscious mind, which can make them difficult to put into words (van der Kolk, 2014).

The therapeutic uses of art offer a powerful way to safely process our trauma. 

In the words of Natalie Rogers: “What is creative is frequently therapeutic. What is therapeutic is frequently a therapeutic process.”.

Through creative and meaningful art-making, our bodies are actively involved in expressing and transforming how we make sense of our experiences.
Art-making activities that can include finger painting, pottery, drawing, and collage, can support us to reintegrate our bodies and our minds to help reframe our past experiences in a new light (Cherry, 2021; Dexter, 2022; Malchiodi, 2003).
These empowering activities can give us the autonomy to communicate our innermost feelings in whichever way we see fit, changing the outcomes of our past into what we wish to see and feel (Malchiodi, 2020).

The therapeutic use of art can offer us a safe, non-judgmental, and personal setting to foster healing and growth.

It’s a practice that’s just for you – it’s a practice that we deserve. 

There are many other benefits of art therapy. These include:

• The reduction of symptoms of depression (Cherry, 2021).
• Reduced feelings of stress (Dexter, 2022).
• Improved mood, self-esteem, and self-awareness (Dexter, 2022, Mayden, 2012).
• An easy tool to safely work through traumatic events and memories (Dexter, 2022).
• A new, exciting way to express ourselves and re-explore our inner light (Dexter, 2022).

In this program, Expressive Arts For Trauma Healing, we will guide you through gentle artistic techniques that can help you to express your identity, improve your resiliency, and build a stronger relationship with yourself.

We’ll also discuss the potential healing benefits of art in our six expert-led theory modules.

By the end of the program, we hope that you or your clients will have discovered safe and practical techniques that can be incorporated into your trauma healing toolbox.

Natalie Rogers sums it up as an empowering process that “fosters release, self-understanding, insight and awakens creativity and transpersonal states of consciousness.”

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Innovative Business Model:
   • Embrace the reality of a genuine business! Our approach involves forming a group buy, where we collectively share the costs among members. Using these funds, we purchase sought-after courses from sale pages and make them accessible to individuals facing financial constraints. Despite potential reservations from the authors, our customers appreciate the affordability and accessibility we provide.
2. The Legal Landscape: Yes and No:
   • The legality of our operations falls into a gray area. While we lack explicit approval from the course authors for resale, there’s a technicality at play. When procuring the course, the author didn’t specify any restrictions on resale. This legal nuance presents both an opportunity for us and a boon for those seeking budget-friendly access.
3. Quality Assurance: Unveiling the Real Deal:
   • Delving into the heart of the matter – quality. Acquiring the course directly from the sale page ensures that all documents and materials are identical to those obtained through conventional means. However, our differentiator lies in going beyond personal study; we take an extra step by reselling. It’s important to note that we are not the official course providers, meaning certain premium services aren’t included in our package:
     • No coaching calls or scheduled sessions with the author.
     • No access to the author’s private Facebook group or web portal.
     • No entry to the author’s exclusive membership forum.
     • No direct email support from the author or their team.

   We operate independently, aiming to bridge the affordability gap without the additional services offered by official course channels. Your understanding of our unique approach is greatly appreciated.

Refund is acceptable:

• Firstly, item is not as explained
• Secondly, Item do not work the way it should.
• Thirdly, and most importantly, support extension can not be used.

Thank you for choosing us! We’re so happy that you feel comfortable enough with us to forward your business here.
