The case was conducted for a total of 8 sessions from March 5 to March 25, 2022, 2~3 times a week, 90 minutes per session. The results of this study are first, through the art therapy, the participant experienced emotional awakening and self-understanding by expressing and clarifying negative emotions, stress, and needs through images, and her self-regulation ability was strengthened.
