The Effectiveness of Islamic Counseling Techniques with Art Therapy in Overcoming Trauma in Children Who Are Victims of Bullying

Abstract

Bullying is a traumatic and painful experience for adolescents, especially if it lasts for a long time. Victims of bullying often feel helpless, hopeless, and at risk of depression due to a lack of adequate coping strategies. In addition to psychological interventions to support mental and emotional health, art therapy can also be used as an alternative to aid the healing process. Islamic counseling, which is a professional service, is commonly used in educational and social contexts. Its purpose is to resolve conflicts, obstacles, and difficulties in meeting various individual needs. This research method uses a literature review approach. The results show that Islamic counseling techniques combined with art therapy are effective in overcoming trauma in children who are victims of bullying.
