11 // How Crochet Heals the Mind: The Science Behind Why It’s Good for Your Brain, Anxiety, and Mood
If you’ve ever picked up your crochet hook and instantly felt calmer, you’re not imagining it. Crochet isn’t just a creative hobby — it’s a powerful form of self-care that can calm anxiety, ease depression, reduce stress, and even support your brain health.
Yes, you heard that right!
It’s one of those rare activities that helps your mind, body, and soul all at once — and science is finally starting to explain why.
Just a heads up, I did a LOT of research when preparing for this episode so if I sound all scientific-y, that’s why.
In today’s episode, I’m going to share studies that prove that crochet and other crafts are good for your brain and how it can relieve stress, anxiety, and even depression.
