While art therapy can be beneficial for many, it may also have negative effects for some individuals. Participants might experience emotional discomfort when confronting traumatic memories or feelings during the creative process. Additionally, if the therapist lacks proper training or experience, the therapy could lead to misunderstandings, misinterpretations, or inadequate support. Lastly, individuals with certain mental health conditions may find the self-expression overwhelming or triggering, potentially exacerbating their symptoms.
