Why I Choose This Course

Diposting oleh mirefasdiari di 00.32


I obtained a bachelor degree in psychology in 2013. I have strong interest in art since I was a child. It will be great if I can combine both psychology and art in my job, in the other words, I decided to be an art therapist for my further professional career. So, I have plan to continue my study, Master of Art Therapy next year.  
I got the information from my brother that there are many websites that provide online courses and we can join it with various topics that relevant to us. One of the well-known website is Coursera.  So, I searched was there any art therapy course in Coursera and I found Healing with Art course by Florida University. I decided to apply financial aid for this course and finally, they approved it. Thank you for the opportunity.
I'm enthusiastic to join this course since I want to know more what art therapy is all about, and how art can help us in healing process scientifically.  This course also provides various types art such as visual art, music, dance, and word, so it will expand my knowledge and experience about it. 
I believe this course will beneficial for my personal life and my professional career as a counsellor. First, for my personal life, I use art as reflective tool since I love art from inside my heart. Through art, I learned how to be creative, open-minded, responsible, patient, persistent, and confident. The most important thing is art helped me in my self-transformation process, managed my emotion to be more relaxed, found my self-identity, and motivated me to pursue my dream.  Like the metamorphosis of a butterfly, art helps me to deeply understand myself--who I am, who I want to be in the future. 
However, as I have moved forward to next stage of my life as an adult, being married and mother to-be, new life crisis normally began to start as adaptation process.  It quite difficult for me to through it all since I have no time to express myself in proper way recently. So, I needed some times to figure it out what happen to me and found inspiration to take action for my better future.  
Second, for my professional career. I was a counsellor and special needs teacher. I often applied art as a perfect tool for assessment and therapy. What I love in using art is totally free from any judgment and the clients enjoyed my counselling sessions since they didn't realize that they being assessed. In every session, I found out so many clients had serious problems based on assessment but I tried to keep calm, take my poker face on outside, while I want  to scream  inside since I was shocked of how terrible the problem they faced.  However, believe it or not, many clients enjoyed the process and they initiatively figured it out what happened to them and take an action to solve the problems by themselves without my direction or even advice. In the other words, art has a healing power in human transformation process. 
I wish I can star to rearrange my personal life to be a better person in all aspects of my life, mental, physical, psychological, and spiritual. I wish I can contribute to the other's life by sharing and applying art as an effective therapy to reveal their inner voice and independently guide them to achieve their fully Super self. In conclusion, I wish this course can help me to solve my problems and achieve my biggest dream.


Thank you.
