What are some types of therapy for example: Drawing, pottery, walking, etc. how does it help one to heal?

How about music, playing an instrument to is this also a form of therapy? How and why does it work?

Drama therapy: it can work in 2ways either through reenactment of a traumatic event or as a rehearsal for a stressful situation.

Creative endeavors are a way of becoming "hooked on life/living". Allowing one to be introspective without being self centered. (Acting, writing, music, and dance.) When you look at celebrities these have not always had a positive or health mental effect.

Walking and sports can have the same effect. Regular exercise actually changes the chemistry of the brain.

Then their are the "talk" therapies. Getting things out in the open and off the chest.

    There is also horse riding therapy. My youngest son learned to ride bareback, he started at almost 3. His wonders for his sensory issues, speech, behavior issuses, even his hyperactivity. It was well worth it
