O bordado como arteterapia: percepções e sentimentos – Relato de experiência

Abstract

In my life practice, embroidery acts as an alternative therapy, because while you embroider your mind disconnect from problems finding pleasure in being able to build something real and beautiful, which instigates sociability since many people seek to participate in embroidery groups to have someone to talk to and exchange experiences. Scientifically, art therapy is recognized as a transformative agent in the personal, professional or leisure sphere. Discussing and presenting this approach is the purpose of this paper. It is a technique, expression of art and culture, of which one has records of embroideries of diverse regions of the world and each one with its characteristics. In addition to the literature review, we conducted interviews, in which testimonials of people who have embroidery as a form of therapy and thus verified in daily life the reality presented in the bibliography.
