Art therapy is finally being taken seriously as a tool for boosting health

A new World Health Organization report lends "heft and credibility" but it's only scratching the surface.

I saw this post from one of my favorite artists. It reminded me that, even as a therapist, my role is not to "fix" someone or alter their emotions. I can simply sit and offer support.

Looking at the prompt for @inktober day 8, frail, I'm reminded how I used to equate frail to introverted. It's often seen as a negative to be less talkative or "shy". Over the years as a therapist, I've learned being introverted does not equate to being frail. Introverted is (for myself) more in line with being empathetic and an attentive listener while still being able to advocate for myself and clients.
