On the blizzarding first night of February, I provided a training to the volunteers at WeSupport on a brief overview of expressive arts as a collective modality for trauma treatments.

二月一日暴雪的夜晚，我为加华线上朋辈支持小组的义工们提供了一次培训，其目的是对表达艺术的心理创伤治疗进行简略的概观。

I am not an expressive arts therapist, nor can I claim to know in great depth of each of the art disciplines. But my interest to incorporate expressive arts into my therapeutic work officially kicked off when I started being supervised by a Board Certified Art Therapist.

我并非表达艺术心理治疗师，也不敢自称对每一种艺术学科有深入研究。我对于将表达艺术与心理治疗相结合的兴趣萌芽于接受一位艺术治疗师的督导。

I am a strong believer of our innate right and ability to express and create, and I am fascinated by the nearly magical healing power of all forms of arts.

我坚信我们天生的表达力与创造力, 也常常惊叹于每一种艺术形式魔术般的疗愈功效。

Since we were a little child, we never recoil from self-expression. Sing, even when we are out of pitch; doodle, no matter how the image turns out; dance, unstopped by the lack of audience.

自幼时起，我们便不遗余力地通过各种方式表达自我：放声歌唱，无畏五音不全；随心图绘，不论笔触精美；肆意舞动，哪怕无人欣赏。

Every one of us was born an artist.

人人都是艺术家。

This presentation does not mean to serve as a training for any specific type of expressive arts therapy, nor as advice for (self) treatment or a substitute for psychotherapy by a qualified professional.

本演示文稿既非针对任何一种表达艺术疗法的专业培训，也非自我治疗的建议，更不能代替专业咨询师的心理治疗。
