Reina Lombardi on Art Therapy
Whether you’re an accomplished artist or you’ve never picked up pencil or paintbrush, this episode of Woman Worriers is for you. Host Elizabeth Cush welcomes Reina Lombardi for a conversation about the benefits of art therapy.
“It’s through creation that we experience meaning-making in our lives.”
Show Notes:
Do you sense something inside that you can’t quite identify? Maybe you need to express feelings you can’t put into words. Maybe you need to process a deep wound. Chances are, the answers you’re looking for are already inside you. In this episode of the Woman Worriers podcast host Elizabeth Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Annapolis, Md., and a mid-life women’s life coach, welcomes Reina Lombardi, ATR-BC, ATCS, LMHC-QS, owner of Florida Art Therapy Services in Fort Myers, Fla. They talk about what art therapy is—and what it’s not, and explode some of the myths that sometimes keep women from taking advantage of it. They also explore how therapeutic creativity can unearth unconscious feelings and experiences to open up deeper levels of healing.
