How Does Experiential Therapy Work?

Experiential Therapy works by using expressive tools (such as music, props, and art) and activities to role play, reenact, and recreate past and present situations that are painful to remember. Individuals use these tools to identify what emotions they are experiencing in relation to these specific events and learn to release the fear, stress, and shame surrounding them. When individuals can identify and release suppressed emotions whole healing can begin.  

For individuals struggling with drug and alcohol addiction, experiential therapy can help by healing painful memories and shame associated with past substance misuse. This helps people in recovery to enhance their coping skills and reduce relapse.

What are the Benefits of Experiential Therapy?

Experiential Therapy offers several advantages for individuals seeking to improve their whole being – mind, body, and soul. These benefits include:  

  • Reenacting painful experiences in a safe and controlled setting;
  • Identifying what emotions influence successes, responsibilities, disappointments, and self-esteem; 
  • Exploring and releasing negative emotions, stress and shame associated with past and current events; 
  • Discovering repressed emotions, and learning how to release and replace them with acceptance, love and forgiveness; and 
  • Healing painful memories and shame associated with past substance misuse, which enhances coping skills and reduces relapse.
