On today's episode of Asked and Answered by Soul, Jennifer Urezzio and Dr. Ericha Scott, author, artist and addiction, trauma and mental health professional, talk about creating a healing experience using art and the profound ways that it can generate self-awareness, reduce stress and take the physical charge out of trauma.  Listen in today as Jennifer and Ericha share that when we use our hands we are engaging a larger portion of the brain, our senses and the somatic system which often reveals more than standard therapies might. Addressing deep trauma while having fun creating art is a very powerful way to liberate and heal ourselves, others and the earth. About Ericha An authentic, dedicated, passionate, licensed psychotherapist, with additional certifications as a Board Certified Registered Art Therapist (ATR-BC), Registered Expressive Arts Therapist (REAT), and an Interfaith Spiritual Director. In addition, she is an author, artist, and advocate for disempowered populations.  Dr. Scott is a healer who walks the fine line between mysticism and evidenced-based psychotherapy. For 39 years, she has worked with those who struggle with substance and behavioral use disorders, survivors of trauma, complex trauma, torture, dissociation, victims of sex trafficking, and ritual crime. She is an honorary Fellow for the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation.  Her commitment to health, wellness, and "art as medicine" includes experiential teaching for medical doctors in Andrew Weil’s University of Arizona Center for Complimentary Medicine for eight years, professional clinicians, the public, and her own personal health journey.

Her worldwide creative and spiritual workshops bring hope and healing to diverse populations. A number of her peer-reviewed academic publications and lectures have been translated into Prussian, Arabic, and Czechoslovakian.
