The core of art therapy is to provide a non-verbal medium for self-expression. This is particularly useful for children, who might find it challenging to articulate their feelings through words. Art therapy sessions are typically guided by trained therapists who create a safe and supportive environment for children to freely express themselves through art.
Graphology, the study of handwriting, and the psychoanalysis of signatures offer fascinating insights into an individual’s personality and psychological state. By analyzing the various aspects of a person’s handwriting and signature, graphologists can infer traits such as emotional stability, social behavior, and even potential mental health issues.
