As long as we have been vaguely human, there has been art. Like you don't get from point a to point b without art.
Imagine a world where art is not just a pastime but a lifeline. In this episode of 'The Lion's Pen', Samantha Simons sits down with Dr. Stephanie Wright, a psychologist, author, and passionate advocate for recovery through the humanities. Dr. Wright, who wears many hats—mother, professor, writer, and activist—shares her unique insights on how art and emotional expression can pave the way for personal growth and healing.
From discussing the pressures of academic performance to highlighting community programs that teach marketable skills like culinary arts and horticulture, this episode dives deep into the transformative power of creativity. Dr. Wright believes that hope is essential for personal revival, likening it to air for physical well-being. She also touches on the discriminatory nature of access to recovery resources and the critical role humanities play in education.
Whether you're on a recovery journey yourself or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers valuable perspectives on using art as a tool for healing. Tune in to explore how laughter, vulnerability, and empathy can make all the difference in the path to recovery.
