Ep 69: Rest, Resistance, and Advocacy: Navigating the Complexities of Chronic Illness Through Art and Community Support w/ Rowan Crawfish APC
In today’s conversation, Rowan Crawfish and I discusses the importance of community and personal advocacy, particularly for marginalized groups, with a focus on art therapy for people with chronic illnesses. Rowan is a clinical mental health counselor and art therapist in Savannah, Georgia, specializing in working with the neurodivergent, LGBTQ, and fat liberation communities. She highlights the transformative potential of art therapy, specifically phototherapy, in expressing the lived experiences of individuals with chronic illness. The technique allows patients to creatively convey their medical symptoms and advocate for themselves in medical settings. The conversation also moves into the decolonization of therapy, emphasizing an inclusive approach considering systemic influences like patriarchy and capitalism. We explore the idea of community building, offering support groups tailored for different needs, and encourage clients to use art to process emotions and foster community engagements.
