Natalie Rogers’s methods of express

Natalie Rogers’s methods of expressive arts therapy are based on the following
humanistic principles:
• All people have an innate ability to be creative.
• The creative process is healing. The expressive product supplies important
messages to the individual. However, it is the process of creation that is
profoundly transformative.
• Personal growth and higher states of consciousness are achieved through
self-awareness, self-understanding, and insight.
• Self-awareness, understanding, and insight are achieved by delving into
our emotions. The feelings of grief, anger, pain, fear, joy, and ecstasy are the
tunnel through which we must pass to get to self-awareness, understanding,
and wholeness.
• Our feelings and emotions are an energy source. That energy can be channeled
into the expressive arts to be released and transformed.
