The ambiguities and the “gray space” of birth and parenthood can often make it difficult for people to process and articulate emotions. But while you would think to enroll your toddler into art class and not yourself, it might be worth it to consider the power of art therapy.
Our guest, Sharon Itkoff Nacache ATR-BC LCAT PMH-C, is a Perinatal Mental Health Certified Art Psychotherapist. Sharon chats with us today on what creative resilience means and how art therapy can address reproductive mental health. She touches on how powerful the brain-body connection is and how one might underestimate the use of art initially until they truly experience it themselves. She writes, “whether it's through verbal psychotherapy, an active creative process, or combination of the two, the lens through which we explore concerns is focused on self discovery, healing, and empowerment.”
Sharon supports those who identify as caregivers in cultivating creative resilience. Her psychotherapy approach is grounded in principles of cultural humility, humanism, and the healing power of an empathic creative process. She has a special focus on maternal, parental, and reproductive wellness using creative clinical approaches grounded in principles of cultural humility, humanism, and the healing power of an empathic creative process.
