I finally earned my Registration as an Expressive Arts Therapist (REAT) through the International Expressive Arts Therapy Association (IEATA). I want to share a line that I submitted as part of my application that hits a resonant note in the heart of my work:
"I now know that being an expressive arts therapist is more than a bag of tricks to use in a therapy session. It is a way of offering my full presence to someone and allowing the full creative potential of both of us to flow freely."
