Phototherapy is an art therapy method that uses photographs to help individuals access and express emotions. Participants can express themselves, from their experience of a single event to their whole life stories, using photos. This allows them to view their experiences from a new perspective, which facilitates processing difficulties and deepens self-awareness. The essence of this method is to use the images to ask questions, so that the participant can discover information about themselves that they may have not been previously aware of.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
