why use art for addictions recovery?

Just a few words on the significant benefits of Art interventions for recovering persons:

• art given an instant 'snapshot' of the inner life... giving key insights for recovery and relapse prevention.
• art doesn't lie!... it cuts thru the 'B.S.' and any defenses with ease. Pollock said: Art must be the axe to smash the frozen sea inside us!
  
• the deepest parts of the human are easily exposed thru the skill of a very good facilitator, who has a highly developed spiritual side of themselves.
  

note: you don't need any art skills to get the most out of this... it's all about expression... letting the inside spill out on the page.
