14. Using art and creativity as touchstones to overcome depression Art with Soul Podcast

    • Visual Arts

On this episode of The Art With Soul Podcast, I open up about my struggles with depression, and share some of the ways in which my creative practice serves as a touchstone to help me overcome depression and anxiety. I talk about the importance – for me – of feeling a sense of agency against the darkness of depression, and how I find a balance between remaining creative and giving myself the space to just be without pushing or striving to overcome, and how that has made a big difference in my struggle with depression.
