Greater risk factor in death: obesity, or loneliness?

Art, music, and dance are forms of creative expression that can help you process and cope with emotional issues, including depression. Expressive therapy goes beyond traditional talk therapy. It focuses on creative outlets as a means of expression. This therapy can be especially helpful for people who find it difficult to talk about their thoughts and emotions.

Isn't the purpose of expressing your thoughts and feelings to communicate them so people will know where your head is at?
If you create art, painting, sculpture, etc, it's open to interpretation by me because I have no way of knowing your intention or what you intended to convey. Same with dance.
Music will work if you write lyrics which say exactly what you want me to know, but that's it.
Therefore this alt-therapy thing may make you busy, feel creative, feel better about yourself but doesn't bring you out of your social or emotional cave.
Two thumbs down.
