Why do I want to be an Expressive Art Therapist?

Why be an Expressive Art therapist? Why am I so interested in helping people with their struggles when I have gone through my own struggles? Why would I want to hear about other people's struggles and use art to help them? These are the questions that have been on my mind since I started this program at California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS). I am still exploring the answers but I do have some ideas. I will give some ideas on the answers to these questions and explore a couple main aspects of my identity; being Jewish and being a cis female related to being a future Expressive Art Therapist.
