Abstract
Eco-art therapy is a holistic and integrated approach to mental health practice.With the guidance of a counselor,clients engage in creative expression using natural art materials and natural environments to produce unique artworks.This method emphasizes mindful engagement in the creative process,helping individuals externalize inner struggles through artistic form,thereby improving psychological,physical,and emotional well-being.The dreamcatcher technique is one form of eco-art therapy.This article presents a case study of an anxious college student to illustrate the process of eco-art therapy.It details specific stages of the counseling process,including material selection,emotional exploration during creation,and self-reflection after completing the artwork.The study not only analyzes the intervention effects of eco-art therapy in this case but also explores its potential mechanisms,such as using natural imagery to promote emotional regulation,reconstructing meaning through artistic symbolism,and enhancing self-efficacy through hands-on practice.Finally,drawing on insights from the case,the article outlines future directions for eco-art therapy and highlights its potential value and application in mental health services for college students and broader populations.关键词
