Thank you so much for this. As an art therapist practicing for over 40 years, this is so validating. Art is a very valuable tool in the treatment of mental health and trauma.
fascinating... unable to work past few years... had asked myself is it enough to exist just to bring beauty to the world with my various crafts... this was very affirming! thank you!
Crafting is _work_ but the current money oriented society rewards only the few that become popular. This may not be your goal, but passion being expressed in the craft may bring more attention. All the best 🙏
Thank you so much for this fascinating interview! I just finished this book and I loved it. One of the things it validated for me is coloring. It feels like the best mindfulness meditation and is definitely helping to balance my mood.
I just loved listening to this! As an artist who loves to get out in nature, it resonated. Definitively going to read Ivy and Susan’s book. As someone who deals with frequent anxiety, the info on how environments and creativity lower cortisol and work with lowering amygdala response is super interesting.
Casual, at home, improvisational theater and acting is available to everyone and is practiced by over 50 million people around the world. I'm specifically referring to tabletop role playing games (TTRPG) like Dungeons and Dragons, Pathfinder, Shadowrun, Warhammer and more, many of which have free rule sets and resources available online. Many of these game systems focus heavily on role play and are now being used by some health care professionals as a medium for therapy.
