In today’s episode, we are embarking on a journey of exploration into the world of creative therapy.
We live in a society that often associates healing with an arduous, painful, and solemn process. But what if healing could also be filled with creativity, self-discovery, and even joy? Today, we are challenging the traditional narrative by looking at healing through the lens of creativity. We're thrilled to have two exceptional guests with us today, each bringing their unique therapeutic approach to our discussion. 
Joining us are our 2 guest experts from Counseling Perspective -  Gayatri, an art psychotherapist, who specializes in helping young individuals through creative discovery and healing. She also extends her person-centred, holistic approach to parents, fostering healthier relational dynamics. Our second guest is Ambre, a dramatherapist who leverages the power of drama and somatics to inspire self-compassion and ignite the healing process within.
Together, we will delve into the world of art and drama therapy, demystifying any misconceptions, sharing inspiring stories from their practices, and exploring how these creative processes facilitate a healing journey that's not just transformative, but also engaging and enjoyable.
Whether you're looking to learn more about alternative therapeutic approaches, or seeking ways to enrich your own journey of healing and growth, this episode is for you. So, sit back, relax, and let's explore the transformative power of healing through creativity.

[Trigger warning: this episode contains content of domestic abuse and suicide] In commemoration with International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, this special episode is on raising awareness on domestic violence -
what are the circumstances that often leads one to being in an abusive relationship,
the mental gymnastics that one goes through catapulting back and forth between staying or leaving the abusive relationship,
what’s the cycle of abuse that keeps one stuck and locked in,
and how can one heal from the Post-traumatic stress (which is often an after effect of going through a traumatic experience).

In this soulful episode with Dr Sa’eda Buang, author of short-story Razi, we deep dive on important themes of empathy, compassion and inclusivity, in context to how we have been viewing individuals with special needs.

Do we really understand what it means to extend empathy to these individuals? What are the mistakes we commonly make that perpetuate this separation in the society we see today? And how can we better understand them to support them better?

We had the opportunity to read Razi, a book about the unconditional love and care of a mother for her son with special needs. It beautifully encapsulates the emotions and struggles experienced that will deeply move readers from all walks of life.

Razi is now available in all public libraries or as an eBook on the NLB Mobile app here: go.gov.sg/os21-razi.
