Art Therapy Can Provide Healing Beyond Words

Words sometimes limit our ability to express ourselves and our experiences, however, using art in a therapeutic space provides an opportunity for a different kind of communication. In this episode, we talk with two practitioners and professors of art therapy, Amy Morrison and Beth Donahue, about the benefits of this alternative and engaging form of therapy, and how their new online program has made this profession more accessible than ever.

To Heal Our Communities, We Need to Explore the Unconscious Mind

Psychologist and teacher Dr. Monqiue Bowen believes that the benefits of psychoanalysis extend far beyond the healing and personal growth that can come from exploring one’s subconsciousness. In a country built on whiteness and systemic racism, the act of analyzing unconscious thoughts and behaviors can provides an opportunity for community healing across communities. Having a safe space to have these conversations is essential. In this conversation, Dr. Bowen discusses how therapy can be a place of healing not only for the patient but also for the therapist—and for the community at large.
