Art Therapy Podcast
The Art Of Self
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In THE ART OF SELF, we turn the gaze inward toward self-love, vulnerability, and appreciation.
So often, we care deeply for others, hold space, listen, and give, while quietly placing ourselves last. This episode invites to question what becomes possible when that same tenderness is finally offered to the self.
Rooted in the understanding of Brene Brown that “vulnerability is not weakness, it’s our greatest measure of courage,” we explore how allowing ourselves to be seen, can open the door to deeper self-love.
Through sensory actions, reflective moments, and creative exploration, we share tools that encourage slowing down and increasing self-consciousness. From meeting your own gaze in the mirror to creating art where imperfection softens into intimacy, this episode traces the movement from awareness to reflection — from negative loops turned into nourishing cycles of care.
