Professional Art Psychotherapists Training Course

Instructor:  Tammy Liu 

What is Art Psychotherapy?

Art psychotherapy, also known as Art Therapy, is a psychological treatment method that integrates both art and psychology.

In art therapy, clients use art as a medium (primarily painting) to express deep psychological needs or emotions that are not fully conscious. The therapist then interprets, analyzes, diagnoses, and consults based on the client's artistic works, providing a more accurate treatment plan and course.

Applications of Art Psychotherapy

Currently, art therapy is widely applied in the field of psychotherapy in Western countries. It is commonly used in educational institutions, medical facilities, and even senior care institutions, making it one of the most popular psychological treatment methods. It is also a crucial psychological intervention for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

As people's understanding and demand for psychological and emotional management grow, art therapy is increasingly integrated with various natural therapies, offering more comprehensive and diverse tools, methods, and perspectives for psychological treatment. Especially in the field of child and adolescent psychotherapy, a growing number of successful cases confirm the effectiveness of art therapy.

Why Master Jing Yunrong Wants to Offer an Art Therapy Practitioner Course

1. High Demand:
   A. Children's and adolescents' psychological and emotional needs are often issues encountered by aromatherapy practitioners. With the changes in learning methods brought about by the pandemic and the increasingly competitive environment, children who struggle to express their emotions and adolescents who are unwilling to express their emotions face unbearable mental and physical pressures. This phenomenon is not only a heavy challenge for therapists but also an undeniable need for parents of children.
   As aromatherapy therapists, in addition to using essential oils as a treatment medium, art therapy can help us access deeper emotional factors directly. This non-invasive method is particularly suitable for children and adolescents.
   B. As an aromatherapy therapist, consultation skills are crucial to the success of the treatment plan. However, understanding the client's emotions and controlling psychological counseling are often the most difficult aspects. If we can master a "tool" that makes these two aspects clearer, it would be a significant boost to aromatherapy treatment courses.
   C. From a preventive medicine perspective, applying art therapy to parent-child communication, relationships between genders, family dynamics, and social relationships for daily psychological adjustment also holds practical significance and potential for development.

2. Practical Applicability
   Art therapy is highly practical, with simple tools and a treatment process that is safe, soothing, and enjoyable. After systematic training and accumulating enough case analysis experience, it can be quickly mastered and applied.

3. Master Jing Yunrong’s Professional Background and Experience
   Master Jing Yunrong has a professional background in psychology and has decades of casework and teaching experience in art therapy and aromatherapy. The integration of color, painting, and aromatherapy in psychological treatment is an original healing system created by Master Jing, possessing a systematic, scientific, and practical value.
