“…In, The Creative Connection: Expressive Arts as Healing, Rogers (1993) stated that there is an instinct present within all of us that wants to express creatively. She uses expressive art therapy with her clients to offer them a way to experiment with different arts-based methods as a tool for introspection and expression (Estrella, 1997). Rogers (1993) further explained that when using person-centered arts therapy, the process of using art, is not about being a professional artist and creating beautiful pieces of art.…”

“…Although expressive art therapy is a relatively a "young field" in Canada, the use of techniques from this modality have been on the rise in the counselling profession (Wong, 1998;Davis, 2010). Within this modality, Rogers (1993) explained the three main tasks of the facilitator: to be empathetic, to use congruence, and to have unconditional positive regard (Estrella, 1997). She mentions it is important for clients to know that their artwork will not be judged or evaluated.…”

“…The facilitator, in person-centered expressive art therapy, is a companion on the client's path who helps create " a very safe environment in which people can explore and express further" (Rogers, et al, 2012, p. 36). Lastly, it is also the facilitator's job to ensure that clients understand that they are never bound to do anything, that they are allowed to say "no" to an experience and that ultimately the client is the director of the experience (Estrella, 1997).…”

Traumatic life events affect a significant percentage of the population. The effects of trauma, and complex trauma on youth can have lasting affects throughout the lifespan. Mental health statistics in Canada show a grave disparity between Aboriginal youth and non-Aboriginal youth and mirror the impacts of intergenerational trauma. This report investigates the issues Aboriginal youth face today and how expressive art therapy and trauma sensitive yoga can benefit a youth's mental health. In reviewing the literature, extreme human rights violations are widely present throughout the history of colonization. My practicum at the Prince George Native Friendship centre granted me the opportunity to witness and engage first-hand with people affected by intergenerational trauma. This report describes how I will weave the learnings of decolonization, family centred care, and anti oppressive practice into my future work as a social worker in the mental health sector.

I have listened. And I have looked with open eyes. I have poured my soul into the world, seeking the unknown within the known. And I sing out loud in amazement.-Rabindranath TagoreThis final chapter addresses 12 beneficial features, or characteristics, that may describe us if we are functioning more creatively. These are not to be taken as the 12 "main" or "flagship" features that describe everyday creativity. Furthermore, although each characteristic is embodied to varying extents in the preceding chapters, together they represent only one possible thematic integration of the material in Everyday Creativity and New Views of Human Nature. They do, however, reflect some major concerns of the contributors, and so are considered here along with the author's own additional comments and linkages to other literature. Beyond this, the 12 characteristics do not reflect, as one colleague joked, a 12-step program for recovery from lowered creativity! One, however, could do worse. These 12 features highlight important concerns in creative functioning and development, for both individuals and groups, and are presented here to help us think about them. TWELVE POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF LIVING MORE CREATIVELYThe 12 features are listed and defined in Table 13.1, and each is discussed subsequently. Do note that, although all 12 characteristics are 289
