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.
