How can art be used to work on accepting emotions such as anger or fear?
Art helps to demystify so-called negative emotions . All emotions are necessary; the key lies in how we manage them when we are immersed in them. In this sense, theater is a great tool for "training" ourselves to be hosts to emotions, and playing with them helps us to accept them. Emotions are the driving forces of life.
In our experience, artistic creation expands the capacity for self-regulation. Art is born from emotions and amplifies them, allowing people to explore their own thoughts and channel these emotions through creativity. This process helps us understand ourselves and see ourselves from a different perspective. This new perspective can generate emotional well-being during times of high stress or tension from daily life, helping us cope with situations where mental health might otherwise be compromised.
