Many people are subconsciously paralyzed by a variety of issues that prevent them from living life to the fullest. Art Mends Hearts, founded by Susan Greif and based in Englewood, New Jersey, uses the expressive and healing arts – spanning from movement, music, writing and art to drama, meditation, breathing and regression -- to bring the subconscious to the surface so that clients become aware of what is keeping them from crossing their own bridges. The expressive arts help bring the psyche to the conscious more quickly than traditional talk therapy by making thoughts and emotions more readily perceptible and tangible. This way, a client can sooner begin to reconstruct his/her thoughts and learn strategies and coping skills so that he/she can heal faster and start to move forward confidently and in a positive direction.
