That is what expressive therapy is about.
Words certainly are important to the every day functioning of human beings.
However, to believe they are what everything is all about is limiting to us. In our Western culture, especially the American culture, we tend to rely too heavily on words to communicate as well as to understand ourselves and the world around us. The reallity is, though that words are boxes and boxes confine and contain things. Reality and experience is much more sweeping and colorful than the confines of these little packages of concepts that are contained in words. But, when we expand that through expression to creative expression, the depth and breadth of what are trying to understand and communicate expands enormously.
