become an art therapist

I decided to defer school for the moment because I was up in the air about it. I feel it was the right decision for me. I don’t know if art therapy is the right direction for me, but I know that I do like the idea of art as a means for healing. I want to explore all possibilities with my art interests before committing to a graduate program. Since I am so all over the place with my art maybe I should focus on what I enjoy doing the most and get better at that particular field. Then use those skills to help others. There is such a clinical basis with art therapy and it’s possible I don’t want to go that route. Well see in time. In the meantime I am going to get to teach yoga and maybe it will help me to zero in on all this. :)

I’ve been accepted into a program for the fall, but am still contemplating whether this is right for me. Ah…what to do….I wish I wasn’t all over the place with goals and interests. Grad school is alot of money and I want to make sure it’s the right choice.

Signed up for 2 psych classes online so far…just waiting on books and course outline to start!

I think I am finally coming to realize that this is what I’d like to do. I already have my undergrad in studio art from FSU and all I need is 3 more psychology prerequisites before I can apply to the school I am looking into. So I am going to take prob. 2 this spring and one in the summer and apply to the school by the fall! Let’s hope things work out. I change my mind quite a bit about things, but I have a good feeling about this!
