Theatre that feels: A journey into Art Therapy

The first time I heard the term art therapy, I thought it sounded like one of those hipster buzzwords: stylish, a little vague, probably trending on a tote bag. Not too long ago, someone close to me began studying it in Madrid. Through her, I started hearing stories — not just about creativity and expression, but about deep psychological shifts, even in complex neurological conditions like autism. Still, I wasn’t entirely sure what art therapy looked like in practice.
