Healing Through Art: Overcoming Perfectionism

Описание: Welcome to Therapy Talks, hosted by Hailey Kanigan and featuring guest Elspeth Robertson. This week, we’re discussing art therapy and perfectionism. We dive into the labels we get and feel like we have to live by, and how it can affect our mental and emotional health. This episode is all about how art therapy can be a powerful tool to help us heal our inner wounds and learn to let go of our perfectionism. We’ll discuss the concept of the “good kid” and what it means to be a teacher’s pet, and how art therapy can help us learn to be okay with just existing.

Art therapy is a holistic approach to healing, allowing us to express our emotions through visual art. Elspeth and Hailey talk about how art therapy can help us gain a better understanding of our feelings, and provide listeners with tips and advice on how to manage and overcome their perfectionism. Join us for an engaging conversation on art therapy and perfectionism with Hailey and Elspeth.
