Join me this week as I chat with world-renowned art therapist and author, Cathy Malchiodi, about the transformative power of art therapy. Art therapy can reduce stress and anxiety, improve mood and emotional regulation, boost self-confidence and self-esteem, enhance problem-solving and communication skills, and even alleviate symptoms of trauma and PTSD.

We can also use the principles in day-to-day coaching and interaction with others.

We talk:

• Learning the ropes in a women's shelter
• Getting out of the therapist's chair
• Expression not creativty
• Journaling and the immune system
• How we can all use expression to self-regulate
