On this week’s episode we speak with Elise Slater, an art therapist that works with a number of individuals suffering from mental illness, including eating disorders. We discuss how art can unpack a number of suppressed emotions and feelings many individuals were unaware they had and how art can be a form of therapy where these emotions can be released in a safe and soothing environment. Elise also touches on her personal journey with an eating disorder and how she can relate to individuals on a deeper level through her lived experience.
