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.

Stories are the way we make sense of the world, so it’s important for us to understand the stories of our cultures, our communities, and ourselves.
