Creativity is more than a technique-it's a path to healing, growth, and spiritual awakening. In Seeing the Unseen, artist, art therapist, and educator Gail Wirtz Costello, MAT, MPS, ATR, invites readers into an intimate and remarkably practical exploration of the creative process. Feeling safe is the first step toward healing. When we feel secure, we can open our hearts, take chances, and grow. Without that foundation of safety, expressing our true selves can feel too vulnerable, or even impossible.

Creativity is more than a technique-it's a path to healing, growth, and spiritual awakening. In Seeing the Unseen, artist, art therapist, and educator Gail Wirtz Costello, MAT, MPS, ATR, invites readers into an intimate and remarkably practical exploration of the creative process. Feeling safe is the first step toward healing. When we feel secure, we can open our hearts, take chances, and grow. Without that foundation of safety, expressing our true selves can feel too vulnerable, or even impossible. As facilitators of the creative process, our role as art therapists extends beyond directing an activity; it includes understanding why we offer it and how it creates the conditions for growth. Too often, art directives are chosen without fully considering their deeper purpose. Seeing the Unseen bridges this gap. Drawing on over 50 years as an art therapist, educator, and artist, I introduce a five-level framework for Creative Development that creates the safety clients need to take meaningful creative risks. This level-based approach supports art therapists in selecting materials, providing structure, and setting expectations that meet each client's developmental stage-making creativity a powerful catalyst for emotional, developmental, and spiritual transformation. Part clinical guide and part personal reflection, Seeing the Unseen offers both practical tools and theoretical insights into the healing power of art. Whether you are a seasoned clinician or an art therapist in training, this book will enrich your understanding of the stages of creative development and prepare you to more effectively support your clients on their journey. Ideal for: * Artists and aspiring creatives * Art therapists, counselors, and educators * Anyone seeking healing through creative expression For readers of Julia Cameron, Rick Rubin, and Elizabeth Lesser-this is your invitation to begin again, with intention, presence, and purpose.
