Casey Corbin is an artist and a therapist, he has learned to meld the two into effective art therapy approaches that anyone can use. Even if they have no artistic ability, lack creativity, or have never use expressive therapies with their clients before. This book is written to be more of a hands-on workshop will equip individuals, ministers and counselors to utilize common materials to assist themselves and others to explore themselves more deeply and get needed insights while producing high-end abstract and impressionist art suitable for hanging. Expressive Art Therapy Applied in real life. (Like church youth groups, substance abuse treatment programs, men's advance weekends, women's groups, children's play learning experiences, or individual exploration.)Not just for artsy creative people. In fact this book is more for those that never thought of themselves as creative. The perfect solutions for those that have challenges knowing, feeling, and expressing their true thoughts and emotions are the very ones that need to get into their 'right' brain. This book is for helping yourself through self-exploration:* Have you ever been told that you are unemotional? (Emotionally detached.)* Have you sensed that you are different than other people, that you have some-thing in your background that others do not. (Unresolved root issues.)* Have you ever wondered what it would take to become 'normal'? (Accepting the Change Process.) This book for leaders helping others:* Are you in a helping profession? (counselor, therapist, pastor, coach, leader)* Are you a speaker that wants to make a more dynamic lasting impact? (motiva-tional, preacher, teacher)* Are you frustrated that despite your efforts people don't really change? (Burnout, new lease on life, revitalize) Even if you know Art Therapy, you don't know THIS Art Therapy! * Practically applied to real life for individuals for self-exploration and groups for ministry and counseling. * Access Your Artistic Creativity-State for Business and Personal Problem Solving to remove blocks to success. * Express and explore yourself with art! Even if you have never been artistic!* Get Past Your Past!* Explore Your Boundless Potential!This book is for everyone. Leaders of groups of any sort: ministers, social groups, clinical counselors and therapists, as well as individuals. You can first try the approaches yourself and later share them with others. The goal is becoming a more centered and whole person. Tap your own creativity to solve problems in your life. Explore your past painful emotions and memories to resolve them and move forward with your life. And develop enjoyment for your own original art works. This book is not a comprehensive book on traditional art therapy. Its tenets even disagree with some formal non-directive art therapy approaches. This is a very practical approach developed by what produced effective results with real people. It dawned on me recently as I struggled to draw an identifiable stick figure on the white board while teaching that I have my art in six galleries and high end shops spanning over 150 miles, I have sold and shipped pieces across the country, ...and I can't draw!If I don't have to know how to draw then you don't have to either! You don't have to have art skills or talent to get what you need from this book. In fact, it's written by someone that can't draw! I just don't have the patience for it. All my art is done quickly, so my approach to art therapy is to produce the art fast and then get to the good stuff -the therapy -where people get healed from their past and move on to their future!Please visit the website CreateArtTherapy.weebly.com or Facebook Page www.facebook.com/CreateArtTherapy.
