Holistic Integrated Creative Arts Therapy "HICAT" is a mental health profession that uses the creative process of art-making to improve and enhance the physical, mental and emotional well-being for individuals of all ages
Much of the benefit of HICAT lies in its power to effect positive change in our Autonomic Nervous System through balance of its two subsidiary parts; The Sympathetic Nervous System which simulates the stress response and the Parasympathetic Nervous System which simulates pleasure, relaxation and repair responses. Understanding (Mind) and feeling (Body) this relationship brings awareness of the Soul/ Spirit - our internal most authentic self.
People with little or no creative experience can find being creative freeing and insightful. The focus of HICAT is not to produce a beautiful piece of art or to be an amazing dancer but to use the creative process to facilitate healing and self-awareness and in turn make change, accept and grow. There is no judgement and there is no right or wrong. HICAT focuses on helping a person move forward.
Through creativity Devine-Creative can support you to help yourself and/or others to relax more, become more mindful, create, accept and find your inner most authentic self, and ultimately reconnect with your happiness
