What did you learn from the CPD activity and/or feedback and/or event or experience in your practice?

Having gone through this week of creative therapy i have gained a lot of creative information and ideas to used in my upcoming practice with my patients. Learning the benefit of dance therapy being a connection movement and emotions to boost a patients physical and mental health. What i have learnt the most from this is that through creative therapy patients get to self-express and it can be verbal and non-verbal expression. Also it helps with patients social skills.

How did you change or improve your practice as a result?

I have learnt different dance movement that is used to help patient, i think it has changed a lot the way i think of how to used creative therapy in practice.

I think this week of creative therapy will also help with patient who have autism. And i can use these therapeutic techniques to help and support them.
