In therapy, a simple doodle can be the key

欢迎收听,我是本期主持Elise.

本期节目，我们邀请到来自美国的Erin Partridge 博士与我们分享她和艺术疗愈的故事。作为认证注册的专业疗愈师，Erin拥有丰富理论,实践和教学经验。她自己的艺术疗愈工作室 "Wings to Fly"通过各种艺术媒介，帮助人们面对情绪问题， 缓解焦虑，同时还通过艺术疗愈的课程激发人们的创意和灵感。

 她的一天通常不会从挤地铁通勤开始，而是会在太阳升起之前，带上她的立式单桨冲浪，投身自然，同时去感受黑夜与白天、月亮与太阳的交替时光。

我们会在节目里一直听见叽叽喳喳的声音，那来自她的“特别助理”—— 一只高级灰的鹦鹉Sammy，一只丛林绿的小鹦鹉Griffin，她还有一只可爱、憨厚的金毛犬Carina，它们总能给参与的人带来意想不到的感受。
