<i>"This training session changed my notion of art therapy in the most dramatic way. I had been under the impression that it only worked on a surface level and wasn't suitable for dealing with deeply-rooted trauma. The seminar, however, made me see how profound and transformative this method can be. This became such a truly healing experience for me that I now want to make it a part of my own practice. I am very grateful to the experts for their professionalism and profound approach. The time spent at the seminar provided me with a powerful resource. Sessions such as these are especially important for social sector practitioners, as we face complicated scenarios on a daily basis and must know how to preserve our own inner resources to be able to help others. I am leaving the course with a sense of true awe."</i></span>
