Blocked Artist Syndrome

Mrs Hephzibah Kaplan on “Blocked artist” syndrome

For people who feel stuck or frozen in their self-expression. Art Therapy aids the transformation from stagnation to flow. For those clients who are keen to develop their self-expression and personal development through art, Hephzibah runs weekly workshops every Monday evening open to the general public. These have been running for over 10 years and are known as Art for the Heart workshops.

Art Therapy is a useful intervention for a range of psychological issues. When life goes wrong and creates internal confusion or turmoil, Art Therapy can provide reflective time and space to think through the issues and how best to understand and approach them. The sort of situations may be a relationship crisis, post-divorce, a bereavement, coming to terms with a debilitating illness, a breakdown, suicidal ideation or shock.
