38. Expressive Art Therapy for Motherhood: One Mom's Story

Do you feel like you are drowning in motherhood and unsure how to get to shore?

Are you tired of feeling stuck? Want to know a simple way to boost your mood? Are you buckling under the constant pressure of gentle parenting, meal planning, or other significant life events?

Lately, I've been asked for my perspective on why I do expressive art therapy for moms as a social worker and therapist.

In this episode, I share one mom's transformation with expressive art therapy and how she started the journey toward the shore. 

PSA: While a single session inspired this story, it has been changed and adapted to be non-identifiable and moulded to represent the stories I hear from mothers in my therapy sessions. 

I'm honoured to share my admiration for the rebels who dare to traverse the less-trodden path of self-discovery through art.

Ah Ha Moments: 

  • How you can rebel against the silence that often keeps mothers from understanding their true selves. 

  • Understand the significance of the unconventional method of expressive art therapy for mothers. 

  • Witness the metamorphosis when someone bravely steps into the atypical spaces where art meets the heart.

  • The impact of being seen and supported on one's journey to healing.
