Too sensitive to be an art therapist?

Too sensitive or sensitive enough to be an art therapist? And what if sensitivity, far from being a weakness, was rather a condition, a prerequisite to the exercise of this function. In her final study, the author retraces her journey through clinical experiences and her research work, discovering over time to what extent this sensitivity can be a great strength if accepted and well managed. Ethics, framework and supervision, among other things, are all essential elements in the practice of the profession. Excerpt: "The art therapist does not dive into the session with the subject. This is important in order not to stick to what the subject says or does, in order to put some distance between him or herself and his or her own affects. The art therapist proposes another space of time, an elsewhere. It is not a social space. He welcomes the subject in his singularity and invites him by stimulating his psychic creativity (...). It invites the subject to "go to meet the other but in oneself and proposes an opening towards the subject of the unconscious".
