We can identify the specific brain regions that are responsible for certain functions however we still don't fully understand how and why art making brings back memories that are hidden in our subconcious.The TTAP Method through a 9 step structure, allows the individiual the opportunity to go within. In Step 2/ Meditation time slows, our body pulse calms down, even our temperature lowers and imagines start to form deep within the minds eye.

The above image was created by a therapist in Finland, who through a meditation

revisited a favorate summer vacation place, deep in the mountains of Finland, far away from work , responsibilities and stresses. After the meditation, the therapist was directed to Step 4/ Sculpture. She proceeded to the art materials and created the sculpture in the above photo in which she recalled the forest beyond the summer lake at the summer cottage she has, deep green growth growing on all the surfaces in the lush woods.
