In this episode, we sit down with Annie, a therapist who incorporates art therapy into her work, to explore how creativity becomes a powerful tool for emotional processing, self-awareness, and healing. From perfectionism and creative blocks to the pressure of always being “productive,” we break down why so many people disconnect from art—and how reconnecting with it can unlock insight, regulation, and growth in ways traditional talk therapy sometimes can’t.
