Art therapy is the marriage between psychology and art making. And something that people of all ages have re-taught me is that we use our imagination for survival.
Imagine combining the worlds of psychology and art to create a powerful tool for healing. That's exactly what art therapy does, and in this episode of HUM Zinger, hosts Sue Newton and Mike Davies dive deep into this fascinating topic with Jenne Newman. Jenne, the Co-founder of Blackbird Healing Arts Collective, brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to the table.
With a Master’s degree in Creative Arts Therapies and certifications from top Canadian associations, she’s the perfect guide to walk us through the benefits of art therapy. From her early love of art to her professional journey, Jenne shares how creativity can help us make sense of our world. Art therapy isn't about creating masterpieces; it's about using art as a medium to express emotions and build new neural pathways.
This method engages both sides of the brain, offering a unique way to address stress, trauma, mental health, and addiction issues. Throughout the conversation, Jenne emphasizes the therapist's role in holding space and guiding the process. It's not about analyzing the art but supporting the individual in their journey towards healing. Whether it's building resilience, fostering self-compassion, or letting go of fear and shame, art therapy offers a holistic approach to well-being.
Sue and Mike's engaging style makes this episode not just informative but also deeply personal. They explore the practical aspects of art therapy, including how it differs from traditional therapy and the specific training required for practitioners. If you're curious about how art can be a pathway to healing, this episode is a must-listen.
