Art therapy offers individuals the space to explore and process the feelings, memories, and effects of emotions and past experiences.
Ever felt like words just aren't enough to express what you're going through? Licensed Creative Arts Therapist Anna McCarthy Schwartz believes art can fill that gap. In this engaging episode of 'Horizon Heart to Heart', Anna dives into the world of art therapy, explaining how it offers a unique space for individuals to explore and process their emotions, memories, and past experiences.

Whether it's through drawing, painting, or other creative materials, this form of therapy helps individuals, including children, express themselves in ways that feel comfortable and natural. Anna also touches on the benefits and challenges of conducting art therapy sessions via telehealth, offering practical tips for using art as a form of self-care at home.
If you're curious about how art can be a powerful tool for healing, this episode is a must-listen.
