Art Therapy and Shadow Self, with Anna Schwank | Table Talks Ep12
3Anna Schwank is an Illustrator, Designer, and Art Therapist.
In this video, we dive into the transformative power of art therapy—a creative process that helps individuals express and explore emotions beyond words. Grounded in psychology and artistic expression, art therapy offers a safe space to confront trauma, anxiety, and emotional blockages.
We also explore Carl Jung’s concept of the “shadow”—the hidden, unconscious parts of ourselves we often repress. By bringing the shadow into the light through creative expression, we begin the journey of integration and healing.
