At Invictus Health Group, experiential therapy is used to help patients recover from a substance use disorder (SUD) or a mental health disorder. This therapy endeavors to address concealed or subliminal issues with the help of real-life experience tools like props, re-enactment, and guided imagery. As opposed to regular talk and listen approach in other therapies, experiential therapy addresses the thought process and the belief systems of the patient.
Experiential therapy is an expressive therapeutic modality which makes use of art, music, props, animals, etc., to re-enact the experiences of the past. This psychotherapy enables a person to identify emotions linked with success, responsibility, disappointment, and self-esteem. Under the mentorship of a trained therapist, one can begin exploring and releasing negative feelings of anger, shame, and hurt of the past, blocked before the therapy was initiated.
